I loved Barry, Pachinko, and Stranger Things, but keeping up with the momentum is impossible when you have to wait years between chapters.

  • Barry S2 → S3: almost 3 years
  • Pachinko S1 (Mar 2022) → S2 (Aug 2024): 2 years 5 months
  • Stranger Things S3 → S4: 2 years 10 months, S4 → S5: another 3+ years
  • Severance S1 (Feb 2022) → S2 (Jan 2025): exactly 3 years
  • Shōgun S1 (Feb 2024) → S2 probably 2027: 3-year minimum

Its also Anime.

I’m hearing that Severance starts filming the next season until April 2026, which puts the release date sometime in 2027.

I’m so tired of falling in love with a show just to be left hanging for half a decade. Is anyone else adopting a “wait until the finale” policy? I think I’m just going to stop starting anything new until the series finale has actually aired.

Edit: I forgot about Alice in Borderland lol
