## Controversy and Cancellation

After the success of Steins;Senior 0, a total of four seasons of Steins;Senior were immediately greenlit for production. By the end of the first season, the show had mixed reviews and only decent numbers in terms of viewers. The studio then decided to backtrack and revoked one of the four seasons. Eventually, the decision was made to scrap the scripts for the second season and move directly from season one to three, rebranding the third season as the second. This resulted in a 2 month gap between season one and two, which was sold as a timeskip. The information in the timeskip was not exactly necessary to understand the plot, but many viewers found the plot confusing as they were left to fill in the holes in the story on their own.

A third season was in production, but was ultimately cancelled. Scraped concepts reveal that the third season would have focused heavily on Harrison and Gabrielle, and some characters would be cut from the cast (including Lucy, Sophia, Gianna, and Riley). The season would have ended with a finale 2 part episode involving prom, where Harrison is stuck going with Reese while Gabrielle is out of town. The final scene would have shown Harrison, who had faked being drunk, finally wiping all his messages from Connor's phone. Hailey would have been the main antagonist of this season, alongside Connor.

Leaked concepts reveal that a fourth season was also planned. This season would have taken place throughout the summer, and focused on the friendship between Harrison, Gabrielle, Ryan, Amelia, and Shezan before the group heads in separate ways for college. The finale would have been a 3 part episode featuring the group in New York City. The concepts for this season were instead used in the movie, Harrison and the New York Crisis.

## Steins;Grove

Steins;Senior was initially planned to be a prequel series for a cancelled series called Steins;Grove. Little is known about Steins;Grove, other than that it would have focused on Harrison during his college years. Throughout Steins;Senior, there are many references made to Grove City College, which was likely the namesake for this series.
