What’s up with the short past couple seasons? (alien.top)

Just curious if anyone knows why it’s only been 6 episodes a season. Are the showrunners losing interest and moving on?

I think there are a few reasons for the shorter seasons.

Firstly, they agreed a pretty big deal to make “specials” for Paramount+ so that takes up some of their time and creative energy.

I think it’s probably got something to do with quality over quantity as well. They have probably seen how The Simpsons has declined and they are probably trying to avoid the same fate.

Finally, I do think it could be a motivation thing. Trey and Matt are now very wealthy men and Trey especially probably wants to prioritise spending time with his daughter or playing Baldur’s Gate 3.
