Long gaps between season finales and premieres have become standard across television. The Ringer senior editor Ben Lindbergh and journalist and data scientist Rob Arthur teamed up to write an article headlined "The Breaks Between TV Seasons Have Gotten Really Long." They break down why the annual release schedule is fading, what’s driving longer waits between seasons, and how streaming, labor changes, and audience habits are reshaping the TV landscape.
