What do television audiences want? Stories are made to communicate an idea to another person. In today’s media landscape, the sheer volume of streaming options presents a unique challenge for content creators: how to capture and retain the attention of modern TV audiences. With platforms like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Disney+, viewers have an unprecedented array of choices at their fingertips. As a creator, it’s essential to craft stories that not only stand out amidst this sea of content but also resonate deeply with viewers. Engaging storytelling that taps into universal themes, leverages innovative formats, and delivers high-quality production values can help creators cut through the noise. Moreover, understanding the viewing habits and preferences of the target audience is crucial for creating content that not only attracts viewers but also encourages them to return for more. The key to success lies in creating compelling narratives that offer a unique and memorable viewing experience, one that viewers can’t find anywhere else. We talk to TV lover and reviewer Carrie Raisler.
Carrie Raisler grew up a TV-obsessed kid who became an even more TV-obsessed adult. After working in reality TV development in the reality boom of the early 2000s, Carrie transitioned into reviewing TV for The A.V. Club. You can find her sharing far too many thoughts about far too many shows on Twitter @TVandDinners. This interview is a great place to start if you want to know how to write for tv or how to create a television series by understanding audience expectations.
