Book Launch: Transnational Television Drama in the Multiplatform Age (2024)

This seminar was a launch event for the book Transnational Television Drama in the Multiplatform Age (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024) edited by Trisha Dunleavy and Elke Weissmann. The seminar included presentations by Trisha Dunleavy, Joanna Rydzewska, Richard Paterson and Marta Lopera Marmol.

The book foregrounds transnational coproduction in high-end dramas produced for TV’s multiplatform era. Its focus is non-US dramas coproduced with US-owned streaming services and created for international distribution. This book explores the capacity of transnationally coproduced TV drama to reflect elements of cultural specificity. Case studies include It's a Sin, Cable Girls, World on Fire, The Man in the High Castle and many more.
