Aftershow

In television, an aftershow or after-show is a talk show discussing one of the same channel's other television programs, and broadcast just after it.

Format

The aftershow format originated in the mid-2000s with MTV (Canada)'s The After Show, and was initially conceived to accompany unscripted programs such as reality television to fit Canadian license requirements. In the 2010s, U.S. entertainment channels began to add aftershows to their most popular scripted series, up to a point at which the New York Post wrote of the format having achieved a "saturation point" in 2016.[1]

An aftershow's typical format, pioneered by AMC's Talking Dead in 2011, is two or more people discussing a just-aired episode. This is sometimes accompanied by bonus material from the series, or special guests such as actors or creative staff.[2] TV channels see aftershows as an affordable way to provide more content for avid fans of popular series, and as a venue for interacting with fans directly. They are also important to channels as a means to keep viewers tuned in after a program has aired.[2]
