- TriviaThe first season will consist of 12 episodes split into two segments of six each. The premiere episode of the first six aired April 11, 2021. HBO hasn't announced when the second six will be aired. Whedon left the project as soon as Episode 6 wrapped shooting in late 2020. The production schedule paused there in part because of COVID-19 and in part because of a huge amount of VFX work that needed to be done. Philippa Goslett became the official showrunner for the second half of Season 1, due to start shooting in late 2021. Goslett came in a few months after the post-production process began and worked with the remaining creatives to finish the first six episodes ahead of their premiere. Speaking to the break in the release schedule between episodes six and seven due to production issues, HBO and HBO Max chief content officer Casey Bloys stated, "And there was kind of a natural narrative break at six. So that was the thought then was to air six episodes. So at least we had something to put out there for subscribers and fans." Bloys also said that Goslett and her team of writers are working through the second batch of scripts now and "we'll get a better sense of timing" when those will air as "the weeks go on." Whedon's distinctive creative touch, especially in the dialogue, could be seen throughout the first six episodes. Some sources have questioned whether the series will be able to maintain the quality and uniqueness of the show and characters, especially Whedon's distinctive style of dialogue, with a totally different person in charge of the remaining episodes.
- GoofsThroughout the entire season, references to "His Majesty the King" - The creators of the show specified that the time frame for the series to be "The Victorian Era," so called because Queen Victoria ruled in the UK, not a king.
Featured review
Don't believe the critics
Watched the 2 first episodes and I'm hooked. It has a nice ring of Carnival Row meets the X-men with some thriller suspense. I love how they play with the abilities certain characters has, which is not the typical over-powered "I can bend metal with my mind"-kind of deal but rather more subtle. Great casting, FX and can't wait for the next episodes.
And btw critics, when you say it's "messy" without any valid examples of why you think so then I wonder how you felt about the first season of the Witcher. Which was amazing with a crazy messy plot structure that could only be explained by people who knows about the story beforehand.
