how long does a typical season break last?? its been more than 4 months for this one.

Depends honestly can be half a year to a whole year sometimes

A year??? Dude I'm gonna cry, don't they usually take like a 5 month break??

Lol depends to be honest but hopefully shouldn't be that long. I usually give it 7 months honestly because plot heavy works like these usually take some good marination time
