This book is an important addition to the field of screenwriting. Deeply researched through creative and critical lenses, it makes a strong scholarly contribution and should have great practical impact. For screenwriters and script developers, the new character composition framework should really strike a chord.

This book offers new and exciting insights into the writing of scripted drama that will be useful to academics and practitioners, alike. Whilst building upon, and even challenging some of the more established scholarship in this area, Ianniello successfully reframes how we should be thinking about, analysing and writing scripted drama in the streaming era.
