It seems kind of like a lose-lose situation. If it does poorly, it's not like they will think, "oh, maybe if the original studio handles the animation, it will do well again!" they'd just cancel it. And if it does do well, they will just keep going with the cheaper animation studio option.
edit: I haven't watched it yet though, so I'm not really sure how bad it is. Will probably just marathon it once the season ends.
