Serial Television in the Age of Streaming

Contributors to this special issue focus on contemporary TV series, examining the ongoing mutation of television narratives as creators respond to shifting systems of delivery, distribution, and consumption. Topics include the new affordances of streaming platforms; the formal effects of postindustrial economics; and the globalized movements of contemporary series. In addition, case studies covering series such as In Treatment, Better Call Saul, Succession, and Broad City draw connections with literary precedents, and the issue features an interview with award-winning TV creator Hagai Levi.
