anthology television

Anthology television refers to a series format where each season (or episode) features a different story and set of characters, often with its own unique theme or storyline. Unlike traditional series with recurring characters, anthology shows reset their narrative with each installment, allowing for diverse storytelling, genres, and creative approaches. Examples include "The Twilight Zone" and "American Horror Story," where viewers experience fresh stories and characters every season while benefiting from the show's overall brand or concept.
