It seems like the consequence of having big-budget TV shows with CGI expenses and famous actors is the now prolonged wait between seasons. Massive shows like <em>Euphoria</em>, <em>Stranger Things</em>, and now <em>House of the Dragon</em> have received flack for these waits. I'm not entirely concerned about it as a broad issue because we're still experiencing lingering effects from the pandemic and the 2023 strikes that have slowed productions. It seems to be worth waiting until the industry reaches a more stable position before harking on it too much, especially since there are so many ongoing shows on various platforms.
