Hawke confirmed that it would take a year to film the entire season of eight episodes, per Deadline:
“This show has been a little bit cursed. [joking]
Our showrunners, Matt and Ross, take a lot of responsibility. They have an amazing team of writers, but they’re very involved. They write a lot and they are very intense and serious about the quality of the continued writing, and it takes a long time to write each season, and it takes a long time to shoot them.
We’re making, basically, eight movies. The episodes are very long.”
The 2024 or 2025 premiere date for the final season of the Netflix series will be announced later.
