Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the so-called Series Bibles – documents written to present a TV show project to market players potentially interested in its production. Although long used in the television industry, bibliographic references about Series Bibles are still rather scarce, usually restricted to script or production handbooks. In this sense, this descriptive-comparative research aims to collate several Series Bibles available in specialized websites to identity its structural elements and propose a schematic model for organizing its information, serving as a practical-theoretical reference to further fictional series.
