[Iceman]

I'm really excited for season 2 now. I'll miss Fitz but I guess they felt the cast was too large. The finale was great and pretty funny. Fury had a decent amount of screen time that's something I never expected for this show.

Most shows that go "out on their terms" are still technically canceled. For most shows the network has a contract that would allow them to force the creators and actors to produce more seasons, they decide not to and give them advance notice to wrap up or simply decide how much longer they feel the show will be viable. The Seinfelds the extreme rarity where an actor has that much control and shut things down despite being more profitable than ever. Even then the network could keep most shows going if they felt like it after actors and creators leaves because they have rights to alter or reboot it. It's happened plenty enough. Telling a show in advance it has another season or two before it goes off the air it just canceling it in advance, typically because they think that's the most they can milk out of a concept. As far as the network execs are concerned every time a show ends it's because they cancel it, even if reluctantly lol.
