thriller series
Gripping episodic drama
A thriller series is a sequence of films, television episodes, or books in the thriller genre—stories built around suspense, tension, and high stakes.
The term usually implies an ongoing narrative or recurring characters across multiple installments: I binged the whole thriller series over the weekend.
Television has made the format especially popular, with each season delivering new conspiracies, crimes, or dangers.
