Mapping Content Demand in Production and Licensing of Mystery, Crime and Thriller
The enduring popularity of mystery, crime and thriller shows is a formula that resonates across demographics. The savvy content strategists and commissioning execs in the film and TV industry understand why these shows are a gold mine. Series like “To Catch a Killer”, “MindHunter”, “Dahmer”, “The Ted Bundy Tapes” tap into the thrill of solving puzzles, providing audiences with an immersive detective experience from the comfort of their homes.
But there’s more to it than mere entertainment. Crime shows allow viewers to explore the taboo, delving into the forbidden without real-world consequences. This unique mix of mystery-solving and taboo exploration speaks directly to the curiosity of the audience, ensuring engagement and longevity.
The success of mystery, crime or thrill based entertainment lies in activating primal instincts, akin to the adrenaline rush experienced in childhood games like hide-and-seek. Acquisition teams are well-aware of this. Understanding this psychological appeal ensures the creation of content that not only entertains but captivates on a deeper level.
