This chapter explores how television narratives are expanded and complicated through transmedia extensions, including video games, novelizations, websites, online video, and alternate reality games. With specific analyses of transmedia strategies for <em>Lost<\/em> and <em>Breaking Bad<\/em>, I consider how television\u2019s transmedia storytelling is grappling with issues of canonicity and audience segmentation, how transmedia reframes viewer expectations for the core television serial, and what transmedia possibilities might look like going forward.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Also relevant\/see:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2012\/05\/27\/please-dont-ruin-the-second-screen\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Please don\u2019t ruin the second screen<\/strong><\/a> &#8212; from techcrunch.com by Somrat Niyogi<br \/>\n<em>Excerpt:<\/em><br \/>\nThe second screen space is going to be a multi-billion dollar market.
