Long duration

Some of the MCU series that air on Disney+ have a duration of 30 minutes but this time it's different for Moon Knight. Reportedly, this series episode will be 50 minutes long with a complex storyline.

"There are so many complex themes to choose from that we found it difficult to hold up to 45 minutes per episode," said Grant Curtis as showrunner citing Screen Rant.
