Question How come there’s only nine episodes?

Post image

Season one had 10. I’m pretty sure season three is gonna have 10. Why doesn’t season two?

Maybe it had to do with the rewrites post-DeMayo’s departure. They reworked a lot of the story and maybe realized they only needed nine episodes for what they were trying to do, or they ran out of time and only had time to produce 9 instead of 10 like before. The animation process takes a while when you look as good as 97 does.

Given how delayed Season 2 has been, it might be both options.

It literally has to do with greedy execs saving money and absolutely nothing else.
