Worlds a series could live in for years
50 professional worlds a returning series could live in, each with its story engine.
A precinct is the world a returning drama lives in: the police station, the hospital, the newsroom. Untapped Precincts collects worlds that have rarely or never carried a series, such as a poison control centre or an Antarctic research station.
Each one sets out what generates the stories week to week, the conflicts built into the job, real cases to start from, the formats and audience it suits, and what access and budget it would take.
Questions about Untapped Precincts
The professional world a returning series is set in, which supplies a new case or patient or story every week. Police procedurals and medical dramas are the classic precincts.
