No one fills that niche because finishing out shows that were otherwise cancelled, is unlikely to be a growth market. At best, you attract a dwindling set of diehard fans, but the reason the show was cancelled is probably because the audience for it wasn't growing, or the economics of producing the show could not be justified against the size of audience attracted.

Might there be some diamonds in the rough? Sure. The Expanse seemed to do well enough with its second chance on Prime Video after Syfy cancelled it after 3 seasons. But that seems to be an exception rather than the rule.
