Hiii I love your work! What's the most amount of drafts an episode of magnus has had so far?

Thanks!

Hard to tell without diving into our own (real) archives. I know one episode of protocol has gotten up to something like 10 drafts before then going into production (where it gets redrafted some more as part of recording, dialogue editing etc.)

I suspect Archives had less drafting in general because there were less people involved. That doesn’t mean it changed less, just it went through less iterations because it was only Jonny and I working on scripts back then.
