There are a total of 8, 30-minute episodes in the first season. “When I read these scripts, I knew there was going to be a very character-based slow burn,” Speedman told reporters before the series’ Comic-Con panel. “It takes a while to get going but then when it does, it just becomes more meaningful and the horror elements kick in.
