[ELI5] How do animation studios produce seasons? What exactly is the general process behind creating a weekly series?

Question

I understand on some level that there are some pre-production planning with the studio, company and broadcasting brand. But what exactly does this entail? How does a budget get use to create the show?

Usually, the whole season is made before the first episode of it is ever aired. In case of streaming services, everything can be uploaded at once and either be made available all at the same moment (like Netflix) or in intervals (like Disney+). The intervals can be automated to have a show air on a pre-defined date and time or a human makes it available.
