Well often, especially within the past 10 years, the showrunners plan and pay for Seasons 1 & 2 ahead of time (look at ST: Strange New Worlds). This one was going to be not completely risky as a very familiar name brand. Season 2 is apparently the one that is going be really risky. As (no spoilers), but will probably be pretty expensive. In fact substantially more than Season 1.
While that is somewhat promising; in the world of Netflix it isn't. They usually cancel after one or two seasons anyway.
Saw that. I believe that they were preordered, so the money was supposedly already spent. This should be interesting.
Nice to see them get back at it .
If you're a comic fan, you know .
