Abstract

The HBO series, “Alice”, has a particularity: the characters not only exist on television and social networks (Orkut, Twitter, Facebook) but now live in the everyday, going to events and creating situations that are a development of the episodes. This is the premise to discuss, in this article, three postulates about new ways to experience television products: the necessity for new narratives by writers / broadcasters; the understanding of the performance as a dynamic involving the media and the insertion of the everyday as an environment for transmedia narratives.
