In Writing a Successful TV Series, screenwriter and industry expert Oberg shares career-boosting secrets for the modern series maker
Would you like to learn how to create an irresistible bible, a compelling pilot, unforgettable characters and addictive storylines that audiences around the world will want to watch week after week once they're hooked on the first episode? If so, you've come to the right place!
Based on the groundbreaking approach introduced in Screenwriting Unchained and shown in action in The Screenwriter's Troubleshooter, this third volume in the Story-Type Method® collection explores the crucial distinction between conventional series formats and the actual story structure lying underneath. Throughout, Oberg explains in a clear, conversational style how we can use the same dramatic tools to design series, seasons, episodes, storylines and sequences, and why modern series narratives are not just about teasers and cliffhangers.
Writing a Successful TV Series provides a goldmine of actionable information to anyone involved in the series development process (writers, directors, producers, showrunners, story editors, development execs), irrespective of their level of experience. As in his previous books, Oberg puts a strong emphasis on each project reaching the widest possible audience, both at home and abroad, without following prescriptive and outdated rules.
Using examples and case studies from successful series such as Stranger Things, Killing Eve, Breaking Bad, Sex Education, Occupied, The Walking Dead, Fleabag, Big Little Lies, Happy Valley and many others, Oberg reveals in this practical guide the flexible yet powerful tools and techniques needed to conquer this fast-evolving medium, focusing particularly on getting your bible and pilot commissioned. A companion online course dives further into detailed case studies and hands-on project work to help you master series design at season level.
So if you're eager to find out how mini-series, procedurals and serials are really designed in order to make it to the Writers' Room and not only survive it but thrive and shine in it, look no further!
