Westworld. Someone/several people on r*ddit figured out we weren't watching one chronological narrative, but two intertwined ones, and I believe figured out the plot of S2 before it aired, so they changed the S2 plot and the show just went downhill from there (even if I enjoyed it up to S3.)
No idea, but I don't think anything more than S2 would have been saved, because I'm pretty sure they were working toward the same general idea (at least until the show got cancelled.)
Though I can name at least one comic book storyline that changed the identity of its main villain because its plans got leaked...in 1991.
DC's story Armageddon 2001 was supposed to have its main villain, Monarch, revealed to be Captain Atom. However, somehow, word of this got out--keep in mind this was before any of us had the internet--and they changed it, after most of the foreshadowing had already been done, to have the reveal be Hawk, of Hawk and Dove.
NOBODY liked this change...that being said, with over 30 years of hindsight, the story wouldn't have been that much better even if Captain Atom had stayed Monarch.
Note to self: Never change stories due to leaks. Always stick with the original plan--it's better long-term.
Which show did that? I remember hearing about it bout can’t remember which one

Holy shit. Case in point.
Westworld was such a good show and then it went off the deep end
What was the original idea?

No no, that was in regards to Soctatic's comment.
