It's actually 2 - 5. Originally, the brothers weren't meant to continue. It was going to be a anthology series at first. Their chemistry on screen is what made them stop telling a story about the world with these characters in it, and more about these characters interacting with the world. Also the budget significantly increases in the second season. If you watch the end of Season 1, it ends with a car crash with generic ass music playing on the radio. Season 2 starts and its playing a licensed Ted Nugent song.

I wouldn't call Bad Moon Rising by CCR generic ass music.

For streaming, they swapped it with Backwater Rising by Tom Coerver.

I think the anthology series was an idea that got dropped before the pilot even shot. Kripke wanted the scary stories to be front and center with a couple of reporters going around capturing them, but when the studio disliked that he pitched the idea of them being brothers. I think he fleshed out a couple seasons at a time, waiting to see if they would be able to continue before writing any cliffhangers.
