There was a network show that was renewed for two seasons in one go. The showrunner gave an interview shortly after where they said that now they know they'll another season, there is no need to end the season on a cliffhanger. Apparently cliffhangers are used to put pressure on networks. I wonder if that actually works because plenty of shows I've watched ended on cliffhangers.
Huh -- that seems like an old fashioned approach. As you said, it clearly hasn't worked many times! And these days showrunners are more likely to try and please the fans by providing an adequate close to the series.
