In depends on how much plot they have to cover within the allotted time. Structurally, you don't want to reveal the core story early, only to ease off for long stretches before returning toward the end.
Also, are they even going to cover beyond the first arc? For composition reasons again, they might just cut it off there (which gives them one main focus and one series climax).
One strategy might be to frontload the character interaction and slice-of-load content (perhaps some one-shot episodic action bits too) and then lead into the main story as the series progresses.
