According toTHR, Beau DeMayo was particularly busy at Marvel Studios, preparing for the launch ofX-Men ’97, whenhe suddenly parted ways. Quite shockingly, his company email was deactivated, and the crew associated with the show was informed that he was no longer on the project. Even DeMayo’s Instagram account, once a source for X-Men updates, was deleted. Although there were no reasons for Marvel to fire him, DeMayo seemed to face a surprising turn of events.
Bring back@BeauDemayoit’s clear he loves and understands these characters

They need to hire Beau DeMayo back right this second! He created the best Disney+ show! I don’t see how they can do the show without him at this point.

Unless he did something horrible, I really hope they bring Beau DeMayo back for Season 3. He’s done an excellent job with the show and it’d suck to see the quality deteriorate without him steering the ship.

Will it be the same after season 2 though. The show is great because@BeauDemayowas running a tight ship.
And please don’t forget how over saturation messed up Marvel viewership.
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY, please!

Please bring Beau back to continue this series; it’s getting very great!
Otherwise this show will end up falling dead like the Mandalorian

Therefore, acknowledging former showrunner Beau DeMayo’s contribution and recalling his sudden exit, fans appeared more focused on bringing him back for helming further seasons.
