# Series

> The fields of a new series and episode topics, ready to copy.

A series is an account: characters and a world that come back, and episodes that change. The “Overall idea” describes the account, never a specific episode.

## Templates to fill in

```text Series name (template) theme={null}
[A short name that says the character or the place]
```

```text Overall idea (template) theme={null}
[Who the characters are, one sentence each: their role and their personality trait].
[Where they live or work].
[What generally happens to them, episode after episode].
[What brings the viewer back: a mystery, a running gag, a rivalry].
```

```text Common thread (optional, template) theme={null}
[The recurring subject in one sentence: “one X per episode”].
```

```text Look of the characters and images (template) theme={null}
[Rendering family], [character traits], [color palette], [light].
```

```text Episode topic (template) theme={null}
Title: [The subject in one line, with the stakes]
Pitch: [What happens], [what goes wrong], [how it ends, without giving everything away].
```

## A complete example

```text Series name theme={null}
Apartment 4B
```

```text Overall idea theme={null}
Three roommates who have nothing in common share a too small apartment in Chicago.
Nadia, 27, night shift nurse, a neat freak, can't stand any noise during the day.
Jake, 24, a broke musician, always has an easy money idea that goes wrong.
Mrs. Kowalski, 71, the landlady, lives downstairs and hears absolutely everything.
Every episode, a house rule is broken, and Mrs. Kowalski always ends up finding out.
```

```text Common thread (optional) theme={null}
One house rule broken per episode.
```

```text Look of the characters and images theme={null}
Cartoon with thick lines, very expressive faces, warm and slightly faded colors, late afternoon light.
```

## Topics for autopilot

In “Autopilot”, each topic has a title and an optional pitch.

```text Topic 1 theme={null}
Title: Jake rents out Nadia's room while she works nights
Pitch: He earns $40 a night. The third customer is Mrs. Kowalski's nephew.
```

```text Topic 2 theme={null}
Title: Nadia puts a 47 article rulebook on the fridge
Pitch: Jake finds a loophole in article 12. Mrs. Kowalski adds an article 48.
```

```text Topic 3 theme={null}
Title: The apartment adopts a cat banned by the lease
Pitch: They hide it from Mrs. Kowalski for a week. The cat is hers.
```

> [!TIP]
>
> Characters are defined by their personality, not by an event: “a neat freak” works for a hundred episodes, “just lost their job” for only one. See [Creating a series](https://docs.rewatch.studio/series/create.md).
