I don't think the actors for the masters are that expensive. It's not like they got Kitagawa Keiko to come back
>This spin-off also ends up turning the tables on Ryusoulger's sausage-fest casting. While of the three masters, only Pink is a woman, all three of the secondary characters are also women. So right now the majority of the characters in the story are women, by a 4-to-2 count.

Checking Toei's site, this is a 3-part series. Episode 2 is out November 21st, and a release date for the final episode has yet to be announced (though it's almost certainly mid-to-late December).
Three? Nice. Let's hope the level of quality is consistent throughout
