On Netflix, a limited series is a television show that consists of a pre-determined number of episodes, typically fewer than a typical series. These shows are often used to tell a self-contained story or to adapt a work of fiction, such as a novel or play, into a television format. They may also be referred to as miniseries.
Limited series are typically released all at once, so that viewers can watch the entire series in one sitting if they choose to. This is in contrast to a typical TV series, which is released on a weekly or biweekly schedule, with new episodes becoming available over the course of several months or even years.
Netflix has produced and released a number of limited series, including "The Haunting of Hill House," "When They See Us," and "Unbelievable." These shows have been well-received by audiences and critics alike, and have helped to establish Netflix as a destination for high-quality limited series programming.
