Episodes will usually overlap in pre- and post- production. So say episode 2 is filming while episode 1 is being edited and episode 3 is being prepped for shooting.

A director will usually take a single episode through the whole process from start to finish. One person directing a whole series (which isn’t unheard of) would have multiple simultaneous episodes in different stages, which is a lot for one person.
