TV Shows have a long production gestation, which goes through stages like pitching, writing, rewriting (lots of rewriting), development, and production. ScreenCrush guides you through every step of this process to understand how they actually make TV Shows. (courtesy Laughing Squid)
When you fire up your favourite streaming platform and start watching the show sitting at the top of your Must Watch list, it’s easy to feel like it’s just magically appeared, ready for you to consume.
But of course, that’s not the case at all, and as ScreenCrush’s Ryan Arey, wonderfully assisted by his super talented dog, Doug the Manger, makes clear, the fact that any show reaches our screens at all is a minor miracle.
What is fascinating is how involved the process is, and even if you’re familiar with what a showrunner is or what “notes” are from a studio executive are, you’ll find this hugely informative and fantastically well-presented video something of a revelation.
