Television serials

Television serials are scripted, ongoing stories broadcast in episodes, typically airing weekly or daily. They feature a cast of characters and develop plotlines over multiple installments, allowing viewers to follow complex narratives and character arcs over time. Unlike standalone TV shows, serials build suspense and deepen storytelling through continuous episodes, often spanning months or years. They are popular for their immersive storytelling, providing entertainment and engagement through evolving storylines and character development. Serial formats are common across genres such as drama, romance, and crime, and are designed to create viewer anticipation and loyalty.
