Limited Series are defined as shows that are only 1 season long with a finite number of episodes and a defined endpoint with no plans for further episodes past what is initially released.
So has a limited series ever become so popular that the network (or whoever is distributing it) saw it as too profitable to leave at a single season and renewed it.
I know this doesn’t count but Squid Game was originally only planned to have 1 season before Netflix saw how popular it became and paid the director a bunch of money to come back and make 2 more seasons.
So while Squid Game was never marketed as a limited series, has something like this happened to a show that was?
