At first, one might think that behind-the-scenes factors could be the answer as to why this season was shortened by 13 episodes.

It is suspected that more time and effort was consumed compared to the second season and thus explains the shorter episode count. It’s possible that the third season, if approved, will have a higher episode count if certain elements are addressed.
