The number of episodes in a TV season varies widely depending on the show and the era:

• Historically, TV seasons often had at least 30 episodes, with some series having up to 39 episodes per season before the 1980s

• In recent years, many shows tend to have shorter seasons, often around 8 to 10 episodes, especially on streaming platforms

Here are some specific examples from recent shows:

• The series Episodes had 41 episodes over five seasons, with seasons ranging from 7 to 9 episodes each

• 1923 Season 2 is expected to have 8 episodes, with weekly releases on Paramount+

• The Last of Us Season 2 will have 7 episodes, shorter than its first season which had 9 episodes

• The Wheel of Time Season 3 consists of 8 episodes

In summary, a typical modern TV season often ranges from 7 to 10 episodes, whereas older seasons could be much longer, with 30 or more episodes. The exact number depends on the show's format, platform, and production choices.
