"To everything, there is a season, and for a long time in television history, every show had its own season. Some were fall shows, some were spring shows, and either way, you could count on a brand-new batch of episodes every year. But with the larger budgets and production values of streaming, years between seasons (and no particular rhythm to their releases) has become the norm."
"My writers are plugging away. All the folks, if you like the show, thank you for getting us here on this stage. It takes a long time to come up with these episodes. We are deeper into the process at this moment than I would like, considering how few episodes we have figured out. But it takes some time, just as it did the first season."
Streaming shows now often lack a consistent yearly season, with larger budgets and production values producing multi-year gaps between seasons. Fans face long waits while some series attempt to fast-track production to restore annual schedules. Apple TV's Pluribus is progressing slowly; showrunner Vince Gilligan said writers are plugging away and that the team is deeper into the process than he'd like, with few episodes figured out and more time needed. Apple TV examples include Foundation's staggered seasons and Severance's long gap. HBO is attempting faster turnarounds with The Pitt and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms being fast-tracked.
