If it’s a show where most episodes could be shown in any order, then you’ll often have different directors working on different episodes simultaneously. This helps speed up production by having multiple writing and filming teams working at the same time. One group can be writing and storyboarding while the other films, and the scenes are usually simple enough that the actors can show up each day and memorize their lines on set or the night before.
