Episodic storytelling
Episodic storytelling is a genre of narrative that is divided into a fixed set of episodes. Multiple episodes are usually grouped together into a series through a unifying story arc, with the option to view immediately. Episodes may not always contain the same characters, but each episode draws from a broader group of characters, or cast, all of whom exist in the same story world.
The term used in literature to refer to a body of written work that initially appears in installments, is traditionally referred to as serials. The genre has resurfaced in popularity due the influence of new digital technologies, such as virtual reality and streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and YouTube Premium.
