Part 9/11:
Looking forward, industry insiders speculate that Hollywood might experience a significant downsizing. The current fragmentation and oversaturation suggest a future where only a select few shows dominate, relegating many others to obscurity. This could result in a monoculture of sorts, where a handful of classics and blockbusters command the megastar attention that used to be more evenly distributed.
However, some optimistic voices argue that future Gen Z viewers may revive communal experiences, seeking shared cultural touchpoints as they mature and gain influence. Whether this leads to a resurgence in new "must-watch" series or a sustained return to vintage favorites remains uncertain.
