Well judging by the amount of backlash there seems to be, from media sites (many articles saying the replacement is a mistake), in addition to the general fanbase - I'm guessing season 2 is already DOA.
It's vaguely possible they might respond to the backlash and change their minds, it has happened with some films and games, not sure how much it happens with television though.
