Even allowing for the writers strike, Netflix’s commissioning and scheduling process is notoriously Kafkaesque. It’s taken them more than 9 years to get 5 seasons of Stranger Things in the bag, and that’s one of their biggest, most recognisable hits. 3 years just to get here from the release of the last season.
Broadcast channels would previously churn out almost 25 episodes of FX-heavy shows like Stargate or Star Trek and their spin-offs every year, year after year, for a decade at a time.
