The show will continue with JW only. At every end, Sony is losing. If they go digital, JW walks out and I believe AC will walk out too. Because he associated with the brand Jennifer carries on her shoulder which is Beyhadh. Plus, any actress who fills her shoes will be compared to her and I can vouch that not many actresses will want to take her role as they have to live up to her expectations. On top of it, Sony shows rarely can reach high online TRP and their TV ratings are not so great either. So, one show making it big on Sony Liv is actually a big thing to them. Plus, I feel many big actresses do not want to work with Sony TV as the outreach is not as wide as Colors/Zee/ SP which clearly shows that JW is content driven.
Anyway, JW played her cards well by giving this ultimatum as she knows nobody can fill in Maya's place as she carved this character. Also, I feel most actress do not want digital media as they loose royalty from the serial airing in other countries. Also, it affects their popularity and outreach. Anyway, I accept JW's decision but I feel sorry for her because you know she puts her 100% at work. A
nyway, if things do not work out, Jennifer has already got all the accolades and praises for portraying Maya Jaisingh from people around and that is already good because people are noticing her.
