They have a great group of writers. I think it’s going to be a total of six hours,” she added. The series is being developed by Jac Schaeffer, the screenwriter of Captain Marvel . He is writing, producing, and showrunning the show. Olsen also told the outlet that the shooting would commence later this year. Disney+ will launch on 12 November.
