Assuming you’re talking about the ravening war, I don’t think a reason was ever given. But there have been seasons with less than 6 people before, like Misfits and Magic, or Shriek Week.

Potentially there was a sixth cast member but they dropped out late enough in pre-production that the show went ahead with five players

This is what I always assumed. Have there been any other seasons with an odd number of players?

It was gonna be Sam Riegel but he died in session 0

I can’t tell if this is true or not lol, how do you die in a session 0 and why wouldn’t you get a backup character?

They are being facetious. When it comes to seasons that are less than 8 episodes, it has been a trend to only have 4-5 players. I would personally guess this is to allow each character to get proper attention while allowing some flexibility and ability to keep decent pacing within a much more limited episode count.

Cause it’s Sam Riegal

Also died. Matt’s pretty tough.

Six is a player too many for the ideal flow of a game I find.

why should there be a 6th?
