The release schedule is interesting. We'll get three episodes every Tuesday, and each weekly set will take place in a different year. It'll be like getting a TV movie every week for 4 weeks.
Especially with the success of Season 1 and this season's budget, I would've expected Disney to stretch it out over 2-3 months to maximize subscriptions, not cram it all into a single month. I remember that Tony Gilroy also arranged Season 1 into sets of three episodes (though they were stretched out over 2 months), so maybe he lobbied for this release schedule and Disney acquiesced. Perhaps that's a sign that Disney hasn't imposed itself on the show any more this season than last. We'll see.
