Abstract

After a period of expansion marked by the proliferation of on-demand services and the rise of uninterrupted content consumption, the sector is entering a phase of maturity characterized by the inclusion of advertising as a strategy to maintain profitability. This shift presents new challenges for audiences, creators, advertisers, and traditional television. The monograph invites reflections on the implications of this model for consumption habits, narrative and production dynamics, monetization strategies, and the reconfiguration of the advertising landscape. It seeks to gather research that analyzes these transformations from a critical, interdisciplinary, and up-to-date perspective.
