| - | Developed by [[John Neal (writer)|John Neal]] and others over the 1820s and 1830s, short stories and [[Serial (literature)|serial]]s in [[magazine]]s began to be popular by the mid-19th century. Some of them were more respectable, while others were referred to by the derogatory name of ''[[penny dreadful]]s''. In 1844 [[Alexandre Dumas, père]] published a novel ''[[The Three Musketeers]]'' (''Les Trois Mousquetaires'') and wrote ''[[The Count of Monte Cristo]]'' which was published in installments over the next two years. [[William Makepeace Thackeray]] published ''[[The Luck of Barry Lyndon]]''. In Britain [[Charles Dickens]] published several of his books in installments in magazines: ''[[The Pickwick Papers]]'', followed, in the next few years, by ''[[Oliver Twist]]'' (1837–1839), ''[[Nicholas Nickleby]]'' (1838–1839), ''[[The Old Curiosity Shop]]'' (1840–1841), ''[[Barnaby Rudge]]'' (1841), ''[[A Christmas Carol]]'' (1843) and ''[[Martin Chuzzlewit]]'' (1843–1844). In America a version of the penny dreadful became popularly known as a ''[[dime novel]]''. In the dime novels the reputations of [[gunfighter]]s and other [[wild west]] heroes or villains were created or exaggerated. The [[Western fiction|western]] genre came into existence. [[James Fenimore Cooper]] began a series of stories featuring the characters [[Natty Bumppo|Hawkeye]] and [[Chingachgook]]. These stories were not only ''"westerns"'' but also ''historical novels'', the earliest setting being approximately 100 years earlier than the year James Fenimore Cooper was writing it. The series was called the ''[[Leatherstocking Tales]]'' and comprised five volumes: ''[[The Deerslayer]]'' (1841), ''[[The Last of the Mohicans]]'' (1826), ''[[The Pathfinder, or The Inland Sea|The Pathfinder]]'' (1840), ''[[The Pioneers (novel)|The Pioneers]]'' (1823), ''[[The Prairie]]'' (1827). | + | |

They are regarded as masterpieces of silent film. His later serial Les Vampires, which concerns the eponymous crime syndicate (and not actual vampires) is also reminiscent of the Fantômas series.

In television and radio programming, a serial has a continuing plot that unfolds in a sequential episode-by-episode fashion. Serials typically follow main story arcs that span entire television seasons or even the full run of the series, which distinguishes them from traditional episodic television that relies on more stand-alone episodes. Worldwide, the soap opera is the most prominent form of serial dramatic programming.
