This article explains the difference between Netflix TV shows and limited series.

What Does Limited Series Mean?

Netflix limited series are shows with just one season consisting of a few episodes which tell a complete story.

They are written and produced with a clear beginning, middle, and ending.

Essentially, a Netflix limited series is a miniseries exclusive to Netflix.

Limited series doesn’t mean a show is only available for a limited amount of time.

How Long Are Limited Series on Netflix?

Limited series usually have 4-10 episodes, but there’s no set number.

Netflix usually releases all episodes of a limited series at once, but there are some exceptions.

Most TV shows span several seasons.

Limited series, on the other hand, have a predetermined number of episodes.

If Netflix advertises a show as a limited series, don’t expect a second season.
