As a reflection of the increase in the number of digital platforms, a busy period began to be experienced in the TV series and cinema industry. In addition to TV series and projects in the cinema, digital TV series has become an area of focus for production companies.
Digital serials with shorter shooting times, less number of episodes and less episodes are also preferred by actors due to good working conditions and clear script. For many TV series actors, taking part in digital productions means an escape from the intense and challenging environment of television series.
The duration of television series in Turkey has exceeded 120 minutes, and it is not easy to shoot 140-minute weekly episodes. In addition, it has become difficult to keep the scripts of such long-running serials alive and to maintain this without boring the audience.
At this point, the intense demands of Netflix and Disney Plus from the industry have led to great changes in the way the whole series world works and progresses.
While the production companies are moving forward in two separate branches as television series and digital series, they are trying to produce one project after another by trying to fix their technical teams.
Many famous names are also more comfortable accepting offers from digital productions other than television projects. Actors who previously took part in a TV series during the season and did not have time and energy for another job can now produce 3-4 projects during the season thanks to the good working conditions of digital projects.
The rise of digital TV series, which started with Netflix in Turkey and doubled with Disney Plus, affects the preferences of the actors, forcing production companies to work with the logic of a production base like a factory.
