Completely depends on the movie/show and the financing situation. Dallas buyers club took almost 20 years in preproduction due to funding issues yet was shot in less than a month.

I’d imagine it also has to do with pacing and reusing sets. For example the first lord of the rings film probably covered the same plot progression as the entire first season of rings of power simply because it was much slower paced.
