Television Drama from Germany
Production, Storytelling and "Quality"
Abstract
This open access book examines how TV professionals in Germany have negotiated “quality TV drama” from 2015 to the present. As practitioners have adapted quality TV – a term most strongly associated with US series – to their own national context, they have simultaneously dealt with shifts in screenwriting and storytelling as well as with broader transformations of the local television industry. As in other European countries, in Germany this has included a crucial upheaval: the emergence of various streaming services, which has multiplied the television market. As a systematic study of this changing fiction industry, Television Drama from Germany will be of great interest to both academics and practitioners working both within and outside the German-language television market.
