Summary:"This collection explores the impact of COVID-19 on the production and consumption of television and film content in the English-speaking world. Offering in-depth analysis of select on-screen entertainment, the volume addresses entertainment's changing role during and following the COVID-19 pandemic. It also studies the pandemic's incorporation into the narrative of numerous series, films, and other televised formats, capturing the moments and contexts in which these developments emerged. Chapters examine the pandemic's impact both on a micro- and macrolevel, focusing on the content as well as form of TV shows and films. Bringing together an international team of scholars, the book offers a range of perspectives, exploring phenomena such as the 'YouTubification' of audience-reliant late-night television, as well as films and TV shows such as Superstore, Grey's Anatomy, and The Good Fight. Given the pandemic's lasting impact on film and television industries, this book will be a valuable read for scholars studying audience and viewer reception of on-screen content, and the impact of crises on cultural industries. It will also appeal to researchers in cultural studies, popular culture, television studies, internet studies, film studies, and media studies more broadly"--
