TV Script Format- Episode 2

Judsia · Nov 30, 2009

Just a quick formatting question -

I'm writing a TV series and I am currently writing the second episode. Do I need to capitalize and/or re-introduce the MC/recurring characters from the first episode? Thanks!

In my experience you need to CAP the first mention of names in every new script. Just like as if it were a movie sequel.

I could be wrong for the general writing though, in my case it was specifically requested.

Thanks! Just wanted to be sure.

No, first mentions contain information that are useful when it comes to casting, but once that is done, you don't need to introduce the characters; the people who read the script know who you're talking about.

There you go. Mine was requested because staff members were always coming and going, so you probably won't have that problem.
