    Project Details

    Description

    The project investigates serial drama across Western countries that are increasingly produced for international distribution via different channels, including broadcast, cable/satellite or streaming services.

    Layman's description

    TV drama is really popular again - and pretty much worldwide. What is interesting about this kind of drama is that it is often made in co-production or at least to be consumed by audiences beyond the originating nation. This project investigates why this is the case, but also what the challenges and opportunities are and how this might impact on national broadcasters such as the BBC in the UK or ARD and ZDF in Germany
