What are our examples of shows that stayed great after changing production companies?

> At the moment, the focus is on Season 3. While some things are hard to control – Severance being a complex, cinematic series from a creator, Erickson, who is not a traditional TV showrunner, and a perfectionist creative in charge, Stiller, juggling multiple projects – there is a concerted effort to avoid some of the issues that plagued the second season in the upcoming installment, which I hear Apple hopes to start shooting in the summer.

I hear six scripts for Season 3 have been finished, with episode 7 in an outline stage and a couple more to go. (Season 1 consisted of nine episodes, Season 2 had 10.)

The goal is to do that in script form — where such tweaks are relatively cost-free — more than in production and to not start filming while still waiting for 3-4 scripts, as such adjustments in already completed episodes could lead to expensive shutdowns and reshoots.
> Some of this happened in Season 2, so I hear Stiller and Apple plan to head to production on Season 3 with all scripts final, even if the start of filming has to be delayed a bit. When shooting starts, it will be with a new producing director, Zi filmmaker Kogonada, who previously served in the same capacity on Apple TV’s Pachinko.
The show was renewed almost one year ago and only 6 scripts are written? I get that the show has too many details and concepts, but still.

Wonder if they’ll start releasing limited edition Lumon hardware.
Love all the fan merch and Apple allowing it, but I have to wonder if them not officially owning the IP was the reason there was never any official merch besides promo stuff.

So Apple didn’t already own this show??
Wasn’t it theirs already?
