In a new interview with Campaign US, Dan Schneider, executive producer of teen series such as Henry Danger, Game Shakers and iCarly, provides some insight into why Nickelodeon cancels many of its shows after three or four seasons:
Generally, with shows on Nickelodeon, three seasons (about 60 to 65 episodes) is considered enough. I don’t know exactly why, but it’s been that way since I started making TV in this genre. I think maybe because that’s enough for an effective rerun package. And also, new is always exciting. Younger people have short attention spans, especially these days, and audiences are always looking for that new thing.
