A TV series is a collection of scripted episodes intended for broadcast on television, typically structured around a central theme, story, or set of characters. These episodes are usually released in a sequential format, forming a narrative that unfolds over time. TV series can vary widely in genre, including drama, comedy, horror, science fiction, and more, and may be produced for different age groups and audiences.
They often feature a consistent cast of characters who evolve throughout the series, contributing to the overarching plot. Series may be designed to air for a predetermined number of episodes or seasons, or they can continue indefinitely based on viewer demand and ratings. Additionally, they may be serialized, where each episode builds upon the previous ones, or episodic, where each episode presents a self-contained story.
TV series can be distributed through traditional broadcast, cable, or streaming platforms, and they play a significant role in popular culture and entertainment, influencing social trends and conversations.
