The Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars universe is multiplying in 2022 with the Mutliverse, and Disney+ is the must-have streaming service for every Marvel fan to see new heroes and villains join the MCU. Despite the wild success Disney has experienced with Marvel content on Disney+, fans have had enough with the length of each series’ seasons.
Disney+ ushered in a new era of a Star Wars story with The Mandalorian upon the platform’s launch. The eight episode-long seasons held fans over with the wild adventure of Din Djarin/Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal), Cara Dune (Gina Carano), and Grogu.
But, as time progressed, it seems that each new Star Wars and Marvel project released on the platform gets shorter and shorter. In the wake of the upcoming Moon Knight series only receiving six episodes, fans of both franchises are calling out Disney:
NO MORE 6 EPISODE DISNEY+ SHOWS

One Marvel fan makes an interesting point:
It really depends. Are we getting 24-30 minute episode of jokes and nonsense with 5 minutes of actually compelling story? Unfortunately this is the D+ issue. Peacemaker is full of jokes but the 45-50 minute runtime balances it out. It’s also 8 episodes. Perfect.

Marvel series like Daredevil on Netlfix features 13 one-hour-long episodes in all three seasons, causing many fans to demand more content from Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm.
Nonetheless, shortening the seasons of new content on streaming platforms is shared outside of just Disney+, with HBO Max only releasing eight episodes for the brand new Peacemaker series.
