A discussion yesterday about netflix shows dropping 50% of their audience between season 1 and 2 was talking about this. Shows used to run 9 months and have 22 - 26 shows in that time. Then there’d be a 3 month hiatus before you got another 22+ episodes. A streaming show would take 7 season to get to 50 episodes, and with a year or more between 8 episode chunks it’d take 15 years to get there.
I don’t miss filler episodes or saving the budget for sweeps, but I miss shows I love constantly producing new content.
netflixs problem is usually due them cancelling shows after 1-2 seasons, or forced cancellation of a show that goes on longer than 2. like thats why they lose viewership, plus the immense time in between seasons. like sandman, BOz.
They also just push new things at viewers. It’s inevitable that someone waiting for a Season 2 of a show they like might end up in a warren of other shows, and watch those instead, since they’re available.
remember how long it took sandman to finally rushed to being finished? eventhough neil gaiman was getting cancelled. BOZ shouldnt have that problem, but Netflix did not want to continue the series anymore, there was alot more material to go through like several seasons, if they dint rush the titans to being defeated so easily, plus other primordial beings arcs. i think nocturne castlevania is total limbo right now.
