In a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Craig Mazin talked about the seven episodes in Season 2, ensuring that each one will be no less than a “meal". In his words: “Each episode is like a meal. You can have a light dinner or you can go to a 12-course French restaurant," Mazin said. “We have seven episodes. They are high-calorie, dense episodes. If you consider action and drama and scope to be the things that create an epic nature, each one of these episodes packs quite a wallop. You will not be bored."
