    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.
