Well that is the thing tho, they got the rights for NVL after S1, they cast hook character during the s1 and s2, so all their ideas for S2 could still have been used, the thing that may have changed things was the fact that Colin broke his leg, that was what changed all s2b storyline. And also the fact that they changed who would be Peter pan, bc i seen many people online and even know that say that they for sure were going to make Bae and we also know that the fact that Sonequa got regular cast on TWD didnt help, so that storyline was over. So was not the fact that they got NVL arc that got in the way, was more personal things from the actors.
I was under the impression that they got the rights to Hook but they did not get the rights to Peter Pan right out of the gate in season 2. I believe they were separate and didn’t get Pan rights til the end of season 2. And Tamara and Greg didn’t stay around because they were reviewed by the fan base very poorly I thought. Correct me if I’m wrong though.
