10 TV Series Bibles You Must Download & Read

Comedy Feature Extended
Posted by Joleene DesRosiers

If you think not writing a TV bible for your series is okay, think again. Studio and indie producers are asking for them, and there are a million reasons why having one can serve you.

Okay, maybe no a million. But enough. 



10 TV Series Bibles You Must Download Read


Here are a few:

1) A bible can help you, the writer, understand your characters and your world better than you thought.
2) A bible can give the producer faith that you know your world and are prepared to discuss the series with confidence.
3) Creating a bible can help you improve your world-building and other writing outside of your script.
4) Putting a document like this together can give you a leg up, should you be considered for a spot in a writer's room.

The list goes on. But let's stop there and get to the goods: a handful of show bibles for your review, including Freaks and Geeks, Grey's Anatomy, and Stranger Things.

Enjoy!
