Emmerdale And Coronation Street’s Bold New Era Begins!

Meanwhile, the ITV soap bosses, Iain MacLeoad opened up about Emmerdale and Coronation Street. He said that both the soaps will get production upgrades. It will improve the visual quality that the fans see onscreen.
The change is partly inspired by Corriedale, which used high-quality cameras and different filming techniques. MacLeod told the This Is Media City podcast that they are in the middle of an evolution. They want the viewers to experience a consistent feel about both the soaps. Whenever they watch them, they recognise that they are watching an ITV soap.
Furthermore, they are updating resolution, cameras and post-production infrastructure. The ITV boss added that they are making the changes so that they are not left behind. If people are watching shows like Squid Game on Netflix, they shouldn’t feel that Emmerdale and Coronation Street are a different genre. The soaps shouldn’t feel old-fashioned.
Spin-Offs Are Also On The Way!
He added that they wanted Emmerdale and the rival show to have a cinematic touch. Furthermore, the soap bosses want to include shorter spin-offs involving the entry and exit of the characters. They might include micro dramas and vertical dramas.
Furthermore, they are exploring the possibility of creating other stories with different characters that connect to the main show. This might lead to engaging younger viewers. MacLeod even wants to make their 23-minute episodes into very short dramas. However, it might be hard because a lot happens in a soap. Meanwhile, the soap fans are thrilled and curious about the upcoming changes. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Emmerdale updates.
