Why did Hulu cancel its plans for the Marvel’s Ghost Rider spin-off?

The series would have joined a busy Marvel line-up on the streamer. Marvel fans can see Marvel’s Runaways, and Marvel’s Helstrom is still in the works. Stephen Lightfoot, Paul Zbyszewski and Jeph Loeb are behind Marvel’s Ghost Rider. There is still hope for the series. Another outlet might pick it up, but no one has expressed interest at this time.
