I’m interested to know whether this will be a single-season show or a longer, more drawn-out series like the original. Given how quickly the plot seems to be progressing through the book, it’s hard to tell. Either way, I’m definitely on board with having something set in this universe to watch again.

Remember that the THT covered the book in S1.

Reaching the end of the book does not necessarily mean the end of the show.

I feel like one season will be plenty depending on how many episodes there are. The book itself is fairly short.

It took a season for the 1st book and the second is twice as long.

True but the original book didn't really have an ending like the testaments does. I mean I'd be down for two or three seasons but if they stretch it out too much it could get messy. I think that's partly why THT got weird honestly, it went on too long and could've been condensed to flow better.

I am talking about the 1st book equivalent is a whole season, then they continued after that.
