When does 'Pluribus' season 2 come out? Vince Gilligan, creator of the Apple TV sci-fi series, says it will be a while: 'I would love to go faster if I could.'
lot has changed for “prestige” tv like this which is basically film quality production.
streamers are tightening their purse strings to try to be more profitable. and they don’t produce shows in parallel as much anymore. sometimes for budget/logistics, sometimes to stretch content or generate hype.
higher profile actors and bigger crews cause scheduling is more complicated.
shows with global production have more travel.
post production takes longer especially for action/sci-fi with lots of vfx. vfx houses are overloaded.
writing actually takes longer to polish for shorter seasons because there can be no filler.
and the pandemic and 2023 writers strike added delays to everything on top of all that.
All I hear is negative in the vfx world, even vfx moves to where subsidies are so it’s kinda dead in America. Ppl end up working in games, ads, medical field, etc. way more often than movies/shows or are transitioning to that.
I can’t help but wonder exactly what has changed in the past decade that prevents shots from airing annually, like they used to?
TV series used to release 20ish episodes a season, and seemingly would alternate their timeslots between two shows for full-year entertainment.

Always think of how life of pi vfx team won the award after they had already shutdown due to the movie causing them to go bankrupt
