streaming drama

Online episodic series

A streaming drama is a serialized dramatic television series released through a streaming platform rather than traditional broadcast or cable television.

The format typically features continuous storylines across episodes, often released all at once or weekly: I binged that new streaming drama over the weekend.

The term distinguishes these productions from network dramas, implying higher production values, longer episodes, and content that might not air on conventional television.
