scripted series

Fictional television program

A scripted series is a television program with episodes following written scripts—drama, comedy, or genre fiction with actors performing predetermined dialogue and scenes.

The term distinguishes such shows from unscripted programming like reality TV, game shows, or talk shows: The network ordered three new scripted series for fall.
