You Can’t Take The Sky From Me
Show notes
This week Tom Webster returns to the AI data in The Podcast Landscape 2026 to reveal the canceled show Americans miss most. It’s Firefly, and its fans turn out to be some of the least willing to watch an AI-made new season, even though their genre and demographics say they should be an easy sell.
Tom gets into:
- Which canceled shows have fans most and least open to an AI-made revival, from The Walking Dead to Yellowstone
- How much of the spread age and genre explain, and where they stop explaining it
- Why Firefly fans run against their own profile
- What the result means for podcasters weighing AI, and why content research is the only way to know how your audience will react
