Streaming Services Like Netflix And HBO Max Are Set To Change Significantly In The Coming Years
Streaming services profit from nostalgia by revitalizing old franchises and short content, drawing in viewers who crave familiarity.
While streaming seems advanced compared to cable television, streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, and Disney+ know exactly how to touch viewers' hearts: through nostalgia.
In recent years, streaming services have focused on the 80s and 90s with shows like Stranger Things, Cobra Kai, Veronica Mars, and The Baby-Sitters Club. In the coming years, streaming services will continue to profit from that nostalgic feeling by breathing new life into old franchises.
Since building new series takes time and effort, familiar properties are being revived. The world of Star Wars is being further expanded, as well as Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, which has already been adapted in Hunt for Red October and Patriot Games. More superheroes from Marvel and DC are also on the way.
Did you notice that Lord of the Rings has a spin-off and a new series based on Harry Potter is forthcoming? Popular games like Fallout, The Witcher, and Queer Eye are also being adapted. To keep capturing attention and growing member loyalty, they plan to release episodes more frequently instead of dropping an entire season at once.
Streaming services are also competing with popular videos on YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Crunchyroll, etc., by offering short content as well. This way, they attract viewers looking for a satisfying experience during a quick 10-minute wait at a bus stop. Special improvements are being made for mobile viewing speed and resolution.
Following initial cautious documentary releases, more will follow as they prove to be a success, such as Tiger King. If you want to learn a new language, more films and series are being made available in their original language online. Is cable television dead now that streaming is taking its viewers? No, those channels are currently catching up with new, quality content. Everything … for the big money.
