QuoteNoah Hawley on TV's Coming 'Clarity' EraThe last five years in Hollywood, as in America, have been defined by complexity. We've seen it both in the sophistication of prestige TV, and in the labyrinthine distribution systems we have to navigate in order to watch it. I think the next five years will place the emphasis on clarity. The audience of the near future will shy away from entertainment that feels too "real" — i.e., topical and morally ambiguous. At the same time, the market will consolidate. Five hundred shows will become 300. Ten streamers will become five. With fewer shows and films to watch, stars will become more meaningful in attracting audiences, with celebrity offering its own kind of clarity.In this new phase of the business, viewers will gravitate toward stories that make sense to them, not ones where the imagined world, like our real one, is divided and hard to fathom. This doesn't have to mean a retreat to formulaic procedurals, but it will challenge storytellers to innovate inside a smaller box. My hope is that this emphasis on clarity will preserve the gains we've made in whose stories get told, but I think we'll see less demand for experimentation and creative risk overall. That said, I know filmmakers will rise to the challenge. Every Hollywood era has had its gems. I'm excited to see (and hopefully make) the classics of our future.
