A television series is a scripted or unscripted program that is broadcast on television and consists of a sequence of episodes centered around a particular theme, story, or characters. These series are often produced in seasons, which are collections of episodes that air over a specified period, typically involving a recurring cast and storyline. Television series can encompass various genres, including drama, comedy, science fiction, reality, and documentary, among others. They may vary in length, with episodes ranging from a few minutes to an hour, and can be episodic (self-contained stories) or serialized (continuing story arcs).
