Netflix has brought with it a whole new world of content consumption. All of a sudden, audiences are expecting to be able to binge full seasons of shows all at once. And there is a lot of to love about that for sure. But as time has gone on, there has been a return to an appreciation of the week-to-week strategy. Not only does it lead to more water cooler discussion, but it keeps shows in the cultural zeitgeist for a longer period.

I have personally been pushing for streamers to split the difference. Show us two to three episodes upfront and then do it week-to-week. In the case of the upcoming Star Wars series The Mandalorian, it looks like Disney+ will be taking a similar approach, airing the first episode on a Tuesday and a second on a Friday before doing week to week, as confirmed by Disney Wishful.

• #104- November 29
• #105- December 6

So, what do you think of this release strategy? Do you think it’s a smarter way to do it? Should they do more than two episodes in the first week? Let us know your thoughts down below!
