Netflix always tests the launch strategies of the series and the next example will be the third season of The sorcerer. The season will be divided into two parts, which Netflix has already experienced in other successful productions.
According to executive producer Steve Gaub, the decision to split the season was not planned from the start, but came up during the editing of the episode. The production team realized that the third season of The sorcerer it had a natural texture point, which would make two parts a good option.
The idea was born during editing. It wasn’t written in the script and we didn’t know it during filming. However, we knew what the season was and there was a significant twist. And during production, Stranger things was released and they split the season. And we thought, ‘well, that’s intriguing.’

“In a world of streaming, cliffhangers they don’t have the same impact because you’re already on the next episode,” says Gaub. “You don’t get the satisfaction of anticipation, discussions and conversations online. So we wanted to offer that to the fans and the story allowed us to do that.
Cliffhanger is an English term that refers to an asset used in storytelling. In it, a highly suspenseful scene or event is left open at the end of an episode to maintain the audience’s interest and curiosity for the subsequent unfolding of the story.
Due to Netflix’s somewhat opaque viewing metrics, it’s hard to say whether this strategy has helped attract more viewers. It’s also not currently the default for major platform releases. Furthermore Stranger thingsstrikes as You also split seasons to generate suspense.
On the other hand, major series such as Wandinha and the spin-off of bridgerton, Queen Charlotte, were released with all episodes at once. However, the option to split into parts is available if the pattern structure allows it. And that could include Season 4 as well The sorcererwhich will have Liam Hemsworth as the new protagonist.
Every season, every episode, we learn something new. We learned a little more about the characters, the continent, what works and what doesn’t, even on a technical level. We’re using all of those lessons in Season 4, and there’s a lot of amazing twists there. Who knows? It’s an option, but it hasn’t been decided yet.
