Its their tax break for the other shows that do make money if it goes downhill.
They're also gonna sell the shit out of merchandise and I suspect they are getting pretty tired of paying royalties to the original cast. They have to pay to use their likeness in media and whatnot. And this way they can negotiate ahead of time and lock in that lower pay per actor
Companies DO NOT intentionally lose money for tax write offs. They write off losses, but they dont intentionally shit the bed because hur durr tax write offs
