    Pretty much all modern TV series nowadays. You can’t make a proper TV series when your actors/actresses and the rest of the crew have such long breaks. At a certain point, you just end up losing critical actors or writers or other members of staff.

    The Expanse just kept going until the end, and SyFylis cancelled then, and then when Amazon cancelled them for good. Five and a half seasons in seven years, and that’s even with the cancellations and COVID.

      expanse had some problems, i think one of the actors was ejected due to being a creep of woman. and then the books take place in the future, so it dint make sense to make a series so soon in post season 6, i heard.

      i cringe at the 8episode per season arcs, its the studios execs trying to save money because they spent too much on a-listers, theres no harm in using other actors that arnt super famous, rare exception is STD the (nobody actors were just not that good for the show)
