In this study, based on the definitions and classifications of the psychological literature on creativity and creative thinking, it was tried to identify the factors that suppress the creativity of screenwriters who write series for mainstream media in Türkiye. In accordance with this purpose, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 professional screenwriters who have been actively working in the TV series industry for the last three years. The screenwriters were asked questions on five themes: ‘Creative person: Scriptwriter’, ‘Creative process: Developing a Series Project and broadcasting’, ‘Creative product: TV Series’, ‘Environmental Impact: The Audience and Others’, ‘Solution suggestions’. Direct and indirect quotations from their answers were analyzed by using a descriptive method. The reasons why screenwriters who are directly affected by many problems originating from the structure of the industry and working conditions cannot take risks; the reasons why they cannot be able to write original, innovative and future-proof works have been emphasized and possible solutions to these problems have been discussed. Therefore, in the study, it is aimed not only to contribute to the communication science literature, but also to benefit the TV series sector and its employees.
