Bezucha and Selim will helm different episodes, with The Hollywood Reporter suspecting the breakdown to be three-three or four-two. Marvel Studios took a similar approach with fellow upcoming Disney+ seriesMs. Marvelwhich secured four different filmmakers.Adil El Arbi, Bilall Fallah,andMeera Menoneach directed one episode of the wrapped project, whileSharmeen Obaid-Chinoydirected three.
