prime-time drama
Nighttime television series
Prime-time drama is a television series with ongoing storylines and character development, broadcast during evening hours when viewership peaks—typically 8 to 11 p.m.

Such shows often tackle serious themes and feature ensemble casts across multiple seasons.
