Because they don't know if it will be popular enough to warrant a regular series.
So far, and it's SLOWLY changing, the 3 3/4" G.I.Joe isn't the biggest seller that Hasbro has. The majority of the lines sales comes to collectors and old school fans, there really isn't that many new people buying G.I.Joe.
Hasbro is hoping that the cartoon and movie will change that and start a whole new generation of fan. If the cartoon gets good ratings and is a big success, then it will become a new series.
If it just becomes something that old school fans are interested in, then it disappears or becomes direct-to-dvd features (which wouldn't be bad either).
The odd thing is that Resolute is geared towards a more mature audience. It's not a cartoon for 8 year old kids, but more for the 13 year old crowd. And are their many 13 year olds interested in "action figures". That's when I stopped collecting. Girls or G.I.Joe, girls won out.
So the marketing of Resolute is a little off, but here's hoping that the show is a success and it leads to more Joe product.
