But the comic is also pretty short, so I can’t see how they’re gonna stretch it out that much. The movie did a pretty good job of covering all the books more or less, so I can’t imagine this show being more than maybe 3 seasons.
I hope it's just one season. If the movie can blaze through in 90 minutes, they can flesh it out and have plenty of room in 8 hours. The comic is what, 5 books? Not exactly Game of Thrones.
There's also a question if each episode is 20 or 40 minutes. Either way, I can easily see them having a few episodes just for high school flashbacks or something, which doesn't leave a lot to cover the 90 minutes of the movie that could easily be expanded more to go more into the characters of each ex.
