This book, the second supplement to the original Encyclopedia of Television Shows, 1925-2010, presents detailed information on each program, including storylines, casts (character and performer), years of broadcast, trivia facts, and network, cable or streaming information. Along with the traditional network channels and cable services, the newest streaming services like Amazon Prime Video and Disney Plus and pioneering streaming services like Netflix and Hulu are covered. The book includes a section devoted to reality series and foreign series broadcast in the U.S. for the first time from 2017 to 2022, a listing of the series broadcast from 2011 through 2016 (which are contained in the prior supplement), and an index of performers.
