Sometimes they would hit it out of the park....most of the time, not so much, so they cancel it as it was not getting the numbers they wanted. Disney+ does this quite frequently. They did this in response to most studios taking content off their platform and creating their own streaming service.

They needed to purchase a studio catalog and have familiar IP's that they could create content for. Otherwise, they would go the way their old competitor Blockbuster did.
