LOST: 121 episodes in 6 years24: 192 episodes in 9 yearsStranger Things: 42 episodes in 9 yearsThe Boys: 40 episodes in 7 yearsEuphoria: 24 episodes in 7 yearsWhat the fuck happened?
streaming business model is different
>>220563488And Lost and 24 would have three to four month breaks in between seasons, not two or three years.
>>220563535Yeah, I remember how bad it felt when 24 took a whole year extra because of the strike, but even that was a smaller gap compared to the norm nowadays, and we did get that movie to make up for it.
This is the Stranger Things Google Trends roughly correlated with season releases, just to emphasize how ridiculous it was.
>>220563488>What the fuck happened?
>>220563488They used to shoot shows and do it very efficiently. No reshoots, no endless takes, no CGI, fast post processing.Shows used to be a lot cheaper, too, without that necessarily showing in the production value. More episodes could be produced a lot cheaper that way.Netflix, Amazon, Apple having trillions to waste kind of ruined it all.
>>220565112How does DEI affect the production rates of series?
>>220565179And they used to renew shows BEFORE a season had finished production, meaning they didn't have to shut production down, wait for the show to be renewed and then wait for all the actors to become available again.
>>220563488In most cases, in order to get syndicated, a show was required to have a minimum of 88 episodes, thought often 100 episodes were required.Now with streaming, syndication is pretty much gone, so there is little incentive to have a large number of episodes.
>>220565348Mm yea there's not really money in shitting out as many episodes you can and as fast as you can.Made sense during syndication days though. Quite profitable
>>220565112Yep. We have to have at least one black actor, one woman and one gay/trans/lesbian person
