 **We are in the Great Content Gold Rush of drama television, over 550 original shows aired in 2021 alone and that number almost doubled in 2022. Streamers such as Netflix have committed to spending $19 billion in original content this year. The rush for dramatic television shows is on. Are you ready for it? With the success of shows such as Lupin, Squid Game and Bridgerton there is no doubt that streamers are on the hunt for dramatic global stories. These shows drop us into worlds that are new, foreign and exciting for viewers around the globe to watch, yet they all have universal themes we can relate to. The secret to this success is a solid understanding of how to write effective dramatic television…and be able to sustain it for seasons to come. (Stage 32 & Netflix)**
