Reply to comment by Cowstein in why do series shows always have so many seemingly random people directing every episode? by OctoberRust13

Well then is changing directors throughout a series run a training/mentoring/exposure thing or..?

It certainly can be. But it’s more that you need one director to prep while the other shoots or else you hit a logjam. Obviously exceptions to the rule but that’s the norm. On shows with 20 episode seasons you’ll see more slots for new and emerging directors/more chances to spread the wealth. On niche shows you’ll see fewer. Especially with covid protocols trying to keep exposure low.
