In 1936, as television networks CBS, DuMont, and NBC experimented
with new ways to provide entertainment, NBC deviated from the
traditional method of single experimental programs to broadcast the
first multi-part program, Love Nest, over a three-episode arc. This
would come to be known as a miniseries. Although the term was not
coined until 1954, several other such miniseries were broadcast,
including Jack and the Beanstalk and Women in Wartime. In the
mid-1960s the concept was developed into a genre that still exists.
While the major broadcast networks pioneered the idea, it quickly
became popular with cable and streaming services. This encyclopedic
source contains a detailed history of 878 TV miniseries broadcast
from 1936 to 2020, complete with casts, networks, credits, episode
count and detailed plot information.
