Hi everyone! Got Dropout a couple months ago and I’ve been making my way through all of Fantasy High. When I got to Sophomore Year, I was surprised to see that it was done live, and in all of my research I can’t find why.

To be clear, I’m not criticizing it! I’m just genuinely curious. Because seasons filmed on Zoom calls surround it, I assumed this format was because of the pandemic, but after reading up I saw that it was streamed on Twitch in late 2019/early 2020, (mostly) before the world shut down.

I can’t seem to find anyone mention why they chose the live format as opposed to the format that earlier and later seasons take. Does anyone here know? Thanks so much!
