Limited series are capped at 1 season, offering a defined start and end to the story - perfect for prestige projects like HBO's 'The White Lotus' and 'Mare of Easttown'
Anthology series like 'American Horror Story' and 'Fargo' each season features a self-contained narrative, allowing creatives more freedom to explore new ideas and settings
