serialized storytelling

Serialized storytelling is a format where a story unfolds in a sequence of interconnected episodes, chapters, or installments, each building on the previous one. It relies on ongoing plotlines, developing characters, and evolving themes to keep viewers or readers engaged over time. Think of it like a TV series or a multi-volume novel series—stories are told in parts, creating anticipation and momentum as the narrative progresses. This structure encourages continued interest and investment, as each installment reveals new developments while maintaining a cohesive overarching story.
