In television vernacular, when a show goes on hiatus it usually means "we're undecided on when we should cancel it".

A period in which one takes extra time away from a job, activity, or responsibility. A hiatus is like an extended vacation, usually taken for personal reasons, like family emergencies, burnout, medical troubles, or unavoidable absences. An employer will let someone take a hiatus from their job with the understanding that the employee will be back as soon as possible--a hiatus is meant to be temporary, not permanent.
