Summary: | This book examines television drama in the age of streaming time when television has been reshaped for national and international consumption via both linear low and on-demand user modes. It builds on an in-depth study of the Norwegian public service broadcaster (NRK) and some of its game-changing drama productions (Lilyhammer, SKAM, blank). The book portrays the formative first decade of television streaming, how streaming services and incumbent television providers intersect and act in a new drama landscape, and how streaming impacts production cultures, publishing models and industry-audience relations. The analysis draws on insight gained through more than a hundred interviews with television experts and fans, hundreds of hours of observations, and unique access to industry conferences, meetings, working documents, and ratings. It combines perspectives from production studies, media industry studies, and fan studies.
