Since a few folks are curious, TV animation often takes a surprisingly long time.
From development to greenlight to production to post usually lasts years, as everything from scripts to character designs to environments, style, editing, music and FX are meticulously created from scratch!
Sometimes for this reason, it means even a show’s very existence is kept secret for quite a while.
For instance, we nearly finished writing the entire 52 episode run of Trollhunters for Netflix before it was even announced. Followed by another year or two of production to finish them all!
