A live-action series is a type of television show that features real actors performing in front of a camera, as opposed to animated characters. These series can cover a wide range of genres, including drama, comedy, and action, and often tell a story over multiple episodes. They may be based on original scripts or adapted from books, movies, or other media. Live-action series can be produced for various platforms, including traditional broadcast television, cable networks, and streaming services like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. Popular examples include Game of Thrones and Stranger Things, which have garnered large audiences and critical acclaim.
