What is a "miniseries"?
A miniseries is a short television or online series that tells a complete story in a limited number of episodes, typically ranging from two to ten. Unlike regular TV shows, which may have multiple seasons, a miniseries is designed to be a self-contained story, with a clear beginning, middle, and end. It often focuses on a specific event, topic, or plot, and once the story concludes, the series ends. Miniseries are usually broadcast all at once or over a few days, making them a popular option for viewers looking for a quick, complete story.
Examples
