The world of streaming platforms has been nourished by audiovisual content for the last few years. Whether series, movies, documentaries, shorts or compilations, the millions of users around the planet increasingly consume more and more, benefiting the creators and products already present on the market. The format that has proliferated the most in recent years is series, with the opportunity to extend stories, plots and character arcs.
These can be small productions of a few episodes or a large universe that spans seasons. A risky duality in an industry increasingly accustomed to canceling unsuccessful formats at the first opportunity. However, several projects have had the trust of the viewer from the beginning or for many years, promoting renewals in the market.
One of the most popular and successful productions of the moment has been The Boys, the Prime Video superhero series. The combination of deep and complex characters with brutality beyond the limits has received applause and cheers in all possible fields, until reaching the year 2024 and a more than deserved continuity. Patriota and company will soon return to the screen with a fifth season.
Another of the biggest television projects that will also continue to be broadcast is Black Mirror. Since Netflix acquired the popular dystopian format, it will have a seventh season by Charlie Brooker, further expanding its spectrum of genres. “I don’t want to sit here feeling like I’m in a cubicle where I have to write an episode about NFTs or whatever is in the tech media. That was never the intention of this series,” he expressed.
In terms of popularity, one of the biggest phenomena of the last decade was Game of Thrones, which dazzled HBO viewers and even advanced to the A Song of Ice and Fire books on which it was based. Its prequel, The House of the Dragon, was also a success and will continue beyond its initial release. Next June 16, the dragons and the wars prior to the original production will once again make the screens vibrate.
In this sense, the large multimedia franchises are also in luck for their renewals, whether for example video games or mangas. Such has been the success of Fallout on Prime Video that the platform chose to move forward with the adaptation of Bethesda’s RPG. The adventures of the Straw Hat Crew will also continue, after Netflix confirmed at the time a second season of One Piece.
