The good news is that this is something Netflix hopes to address in the future. Speaking to IGN at the TCA (Television Critics Association), Netflix head Ted Sarandos stated that the company was looking to try and reduce as much downtime between seasons as possible, although he also mentioned that by trying to release them quicker, it could have a negative impact on the quality.
According to Sarandos, “I doubt that we could produce at the quality that they produce at that speed. But we’re gonna try to make them quicker so we can get less downtime between them.” That being said, 2017’s schedule is a bit uncertain at this point. Netflix’s plate does seem a bit full at the moment, especially with them officially confirming that Daredevil would be getting a third season. The upside is that by taking their time, it keeps customers subscribed longer.
