Guess the ratings had dropped.

Kevin Messick, an executive producer on the series, referred to a dip in ratings during the show's second season, as well as the actors' inability to promote the show amid the ongoing strikes by members of SAG-AFTRA (https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2023-06-29/what-to-know-sag-aftra-strike-actors-hollywood) and the Writers Guild of America (https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2023-05-01/writers-strike-what-to-know-wga-guild-hollywood-productions), according to Vulture (https://www.vulture.com/article/winning-time-canceled-season-2-series-finale-explained.html), which spoke with Messick and was first to report the show's end on Sunday evening.
