Some industry experts are predicting we may see as many as 1,000 television shows greenlit per year by 2025.\u003c\/strong\u003e Much of the attention in recent years has been on streaming platforms, but it would be foolish to overlook network dramas that continue to not only draw huge crowds, but can stay on the air for many more seasons than their streaming counterparts (can you believe GREY’S ANATOMY has had 19 seasons??). Current ratings for shows like ABC's WILL TRENT, CBS’s EQUALIZER, FOX’s 9-1-1 and NBC’s CHICAGO P.D., CHICAGO FIRE and CHICAGO MED demonstrate just how wildly successful network dramas continue to be. If you’re looking for a long-running and lucrative TV writing career, network dramas could be a powerful opportunity.

TV story breaking is a wholly different process than solo writing and requires a separate skillset. It’s more collaborative, it’s more flexible, and it requires the ability to pitch and defend your ideas. The ability to thrive in a television writers’ room can allow you to find real longevity in your writing career and give you the opportunity to contribute to a lot of exciting new shows coming out of this gold rush.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #dddddd;\"\u003eKate Sargeant is an accomplished television writer with especially deep experience in network procedural dramas, working on over 100 episodes of network TV on shows like CASTLE, CSI: CYBER, NCIS: NOLA and BLINDSPOT. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #fcfcfc;\"\u003eMost recently, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eKate served as a Supervising Producer on a one-hour drama for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eTBS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e entitled \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eOBLITERATED\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #dddddd;\"\u003eKate started her career as an actress at the age of eleven, starring as “Emily” in the cult classic film \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #dddddd;\"\u003e3 NINJAS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #dddddd;\"\u003e, directed by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #dddddd;\"\u003eJon Turteltaub\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #dddddd;\"\u003e.
