You Will Grow Old Waiting for Your Favorite Show to Come Back (www.nytimes.com)

This is the Ent-like pace at which TV moves these days. The “Game of Thrones” prequel “House of the Dragon” took nearly as long to come back for its second outing. “Severance,” likewise a member of the debut class of ’22, will return in January, almost three years since we last saw it. The teen drama “Euphoria,” whose second season began in January 2022, will start shooting a third season … sometime in 2025. By the time it airs, one assumes its characters will be eligible for Social Security.

More and more, rejoining a favorite series is like trying to remember the details of high school trigonometry. Which hobbit did what to whom? What did they do all day in that “Severance” office again? Was “Stranger Things” set in the 1980s, or was it actually made then?

Eh, I got used to it between seasons of Venture Brothers, Deathklok, and other great shows that had myktiple year gaps in seasons. Found it was worth the wait, which has been true with more recent slow drip offerings as well.
