For sure, but he was actively involved and wrote/directed for it with reasonable frequency. This is a bit different as it sounds like he'll have no involvement in future seasons.I mean, Whedon wasn't actually the showrunner for Angel, so the show can continue without him.

Yeah, it’s a little weird that the series is described as if it was only in the planning/casting phase. According to prior reports (see earlier posts), production/principal photography began in July of 2019 and was still in progress as of January 2020. Of course, the pandemic no doubt slowed things down. But one assumes that a good chunk of season 1 was “in the can” and that sfx/post-production was underway.Why are they reporting it has finished casting? Aren't they done with filming?
You're not going to cancel a mostly or entirely filmed big-budget show because the showrunner left. It could still wind up being a hit, Espenson or I'm sure other members of the writing team for it would make entirely worthy showrunners.
Such a shame. Unless they're preparing for worse stuff to come out this is super embarrassing if it's AT&T being so adverse to controversy they forced Whedon out over allegations literally only one tiny portion of the internet gives a **** about.
If the allegations of racism, which are the most questionable aspect of Fisher's allegations, are confirmed then sure - justifiable outrage would ensue. Whedon being a jerk no the set of a movie no one outside of DC fandom gives a **** would absolutely blow over.Here's the thing, if the allegations are true, a WHOLE lot more people than just those that follow the JL will care.
YepI mean, Whedon wasn't actually the showrunner for Angel, so the show can continue without him.
Angel season 5 is my favourite season and Not Fade Away is probably my favourite episode so, personally, ending where it did feels like a blessing to me. Went out on a crazy high. But, yeah, Whedon always assembles a great team of writers so if the first season works I'm sure it has a solid future.Yep
And Angel was in good hands without Whedon’s direct involvement. One of those rare shows that kept getting better each season. I’m still bitter it got cancelled lol
Yeah, I’ve read a couple times in articles about the Depp situation that AT&T is intensely averse to controversy. Such a shame if this is because of Fisher’s ****-stirring, unless anything super serious drops.
The thing about being that averse to controversy is that it's going to inevitably lead to a situation where they don'twant to act on something, but must because they set a precedent for it.Yeah, I’ve read a couple times in articles about the Depp situation that AT&T is intensely averse to controversy.
