Part 11/14:
A solution proposed by many enthusiasts is to adopt a more balanced production schedule similar to Taylor Sheridan’s approach with shows like Tulsa King and Yellowstone. Sheridan’s model involves roughly 12 to 18 months between seasons, allowing actors to maintain their appearances and audiences to retain interest. This consistency enables viewers to follow character arcs and storylines without significant forgetting or losing engagement.
This approach contrasts sharply with the current industry trend of high-concept, limited-season projects with long waits, which seem to prioritize prestige over audience retention. The consensus suggests that more modest, reliably produced seasons could foster sustained interest, better storytelling, and fewer fillers or rushed narratives.
