Abstract

This paper explores and discusses how online participants during the Covid-19 crisis contributed to transforming the HBO/Sky miniseries The Third Day along with its ground-breaking, real-time recorded episode “Autumn” into a laboratory of ‘gamified’ storytelling, serial fiction, and the deconstruction of celebritization. Empirical material will consist of messages as they unfolded on Sky’s Facebook pages on October 3rd, 2020, and later picked up by British newspapers.
