As far as I can remember, it seems like the past three seasons have come out every other year, with the renewal coming around midway through the off-year.

Don Lemon is not Walter Cronkite or even a particularly good person, but it sure sounds like he committed the cardinal sin of actually doing the job of a journalist and that kind of thing would NEVER be welcome in Elon’s world.
