I assume the series will be 45-50 minutes, though suspect with the flexibility to run longer as required.
Now that Disney has the international licensing rights, the BBC does not have to think about timings for commercial channels around the world.

Now Disney is there, they don't have to think about that, and can run for as long as they can afford to
