mostly because of bigger budgets making scheduling harder. higher profile actors, bigger crews, potential location filming, more time required for effects and post production.
I also heard writing takes longer because it has to be refined and tightened to fit in shorter seasons.
covid and writers strike also made everything worse for a while.
and part of it is probably intentional trying to milk the golden goose for as long as possible. apologies for the mixed metaphor.
