A web series is a collection of scripted or unscripted videos that are released on the internet, typically in episodes. These series can be found on various platforms, such as YouTube, Netflix, or Amazon Prime Video, and they cover a wide range of genres, including drama, comedy, and documentary. Unlike traditional television shows, web series often have shorter episodes and can be produced with lower budgets. They allow creators to reach global audiences directly and often explore niche topics that may not be suitable for mainstream television. This format has gained popularity due to its accessibility and flexibility.
