Abstract

This allows to develop a Series Construction Matrix, which seeks to contribute to the analysis and creation of fiction series that aspire to a wide audience willing to watch land watch over again) a story composed by many episodes. It is finally established that this relationship is possible through a pilot that includes dramatic features that make possible an exciting and coherent narrative expansion of the series.
