A television anthology is a series of episodes that are connected by a common theme, style, or concept but feature different characters and storylines in each episode. This format allows for a variety of narratives and genres, often showcasing unique storytelling techniques. Popular examples include The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror, which explore different aspects of human experience and societal issues. Anthologies can vary in length, with some series consisting of a single season or multiple seasons. Each episode typically stands alone, making it easy for viewers to jump in at any point. This format encourages creativity and experimentation, attracting diverse talent in writing and directing.
