The show's production process changed from attempting to write main stories in one week (which failed because research would arrive midway through and invalidate written work) to a six-week cycle where the team writes six stories simultaneously, preventing the collapse of work due to incoming research.

“when we first began we were doing our main story in one week then it became clear that was a crazy thing to it was a terrible way to set it up because we would come up with the idea for a story start writing 3 Days Later research would come in which would wipe away everything that we just written”
