How Many Episodes is 'Falcon & the Winter Soldier'?

You may be surprised to hear that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, premiering in just a few hours on Disney+, does not have too many episodes.

Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan are spectacular actors which we felt we had to explore their stories and their backstories, or personal stories enough as Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes. So it was always the thought we’d like to learn more about both of them. In the little interactions they had with each other in Winter Soldier and Civil War…as friends of a mutual best friend in Captain America. We thought we’d have a fun dynamic, if we ever had that opportunity, we’d watch a whole show with the two of them and Disney+ gives us that opportunity,” Marvel‘s Kevin Feige said (via Deadline).

“Six hours is what we landed on as the best way to tell our story. Six hours, whether it’s six episodes, or nine shorter episodes like Wandavision. The show aren’t inexpensive, so the per episode cost is very high and to get that bar I was talking about,” he added.

The show is set to debut on March 19 on Disney+. Want to watch as soon as it hits the streaming service? Find out what time it debuts!

Anne Hathaway, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, & More to Lead 'Solos' Series for Amazon

Amazon has landed a star-studded cast to lead the upcoming dramatic anthology series Solos.

The new series is being developed by executive producer and showrunner David Weil, who created the show Hunters for Amazon.

Oscar winners Anne Hathaway, Morgan Freeman, and Helen Mirren are all part of the series, along with Uzo Aduba, Nicole Beharie, Anthony Mackie, Dan Stevens, and Constance Wu.

Solos is a dramatic and thought-provoking seven-part anthology series that explores the deeper meaning of human connection, as explored through the lens of the individual. Solos will tell unique character-driven stories, each from a different perspective and moment in time, that illuminate that even during our most seemingly isolated moments, in the most disparate of circumstances, we are all connected through the human experience.

Sam Taylor-Johnson, Zach Braff, Tiffany Johnson, and David Weil will direct episodes.

“I am beyond thrilled to be bringing Solos to life alongside this group of artists who I so deeply admire. I created this piece with a desire to capture stories about connection, hope and the search for that common hum of humanity that binds us all. I’m immensely grateful to Jennifer Salke and my incredible partners at Amazon for their unwavering support and collaboration on this special project,” Weil said in a statement.

Solos is expected to premiere on Amazon Prime Video later in 2021.
