Meeting of Minds 2: What is the appetite

The drama business is in the middle of a transition that never seems to end. Budgets are tighter, platforms are pickier, and viewers split their attention between a ten-hour subtitled saga and a ninety-second vertical cliffhanger. Yes, there are algorithms. Yes, there is a data analyst somewhere. And yet nobody can say with any confidence what will become the next global hit and what will quietly disappear after episode three.
Our panel brings together commissioners and creators to look at the appetite from both sides of the screen. On one side is what broadcasters and streamers are buying. On the other is what audiences actually watch. Maybe even what showrunners want to make. Can these worlds collide? In between are the data, the gut feeling and the luck. Expect candid answers, a few confessions and no guaranteed formulas, because the ultimate honest answer may simply be that nobody knows anything.
