How Many Episodes Are In Hulu's Saint X?

Those eight episodes make "Saint X" a roughly seven-and-a-half-hour saga, with the cast and crew milking every minute of the Lifetime Original-styled drama for maximum effect. It does so with the help of solid work from Alycia Debnam-Carey, Betsy Brandt, West Duchovny, and Josh Bonzie, among others. 

Though critics have so far hammered the show to the tune of an 18% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the 84% audience score is a better reflection of how average viewers have enjoyed the proceedings. Those viewers were no doubt satisfied with the way the series ended, with Emily Thomas more or less putting the haunting case to bed for good. But fans of "Saint X" will no doubt be bummed to learn that the finale essentially put the eight-episode series to bed as well, with there being no follow-up from author Alexis Schaitkin.

If there's a silver lining to that news, however, it's that recent comments from "Saint X" producer Leila Gerstein may leave the door open to somehow continue the story in a new season. Gerstein told Screen Rant that Schaitkin was very collaborative and open to altering the storyline of "Saint X" throughout the series' production. So it doesn't seem entirely far-fetched that they could collaborate on a follow-up story of some sort. That, of course, depends not only on whether or not they can find a palatable way to keep the drama going, but also on whether viewers actually want the story to continue.
