Besides, I don't believe they have the budget or the raw personnel to add additional content right now. I'm not talking about "spinoffs" like "Joey", I'm talking about stuff like WoR or Chibi, or like "mini-arcs" exploring characters already in the show or events we never saw transpire, like "good filler" from Naruto where they went back and explored Minato/Kushina and Itachi's past. By pulling it out of the volume format such material would be very useful for explaining things about characters like STRQ, Adam, Torchwick, Pyrrha, Penny, Ironwood/Glynda, Leo, etc's past, without forcing viewers uninterested in watching such things to watch them in the show, and all RT would have to do is essentially the normal shows prepwork, rig the old characters in the new format and expand on their existing material.

Adam/Penny/Mr. Schnee's rise to power for instance would all have been excellent to see over this break and the last break between seasons had they chosen to focus on one, and having used Adam this season he would have been ready to use.
