However, in May 2018, Fox decided to cancel it due to low rating on the second and third seasons. Since the series was popular amongst the fans, Netflix eventually picked it up to give the fourth season. Season 4 premiered in May 2019 and soon became the most-watched on the streaming platform for a while.
What Led To The Cancellation?
