MODERATORS
Sounds like a sitcom that would get ruined because the fans want them to get together and the studio buckles.
There’s a show Matt LeBlanc did called “Episodes” which was about a married couple of UK writers trying to adapt their successful UK show for the US market.
In the show the UK version had the female lead male lead be non-romantic. LeBlanc explains to them why due to the volume of material they have to create for a season why these had to be romantically tied and how the “will they/won’t they” be a basis for a lot of those shows.
If you wanted to make a traditional US series of roughly 5-10 hours of material a year (22 episodes 44 minutes long or 22 at 22minutes) you would need to set up some form of tension or have a built in expiration date for the story as there won’t be enough if the premise is “these people are friends”.
Note: This is a USnetwork specific problem. If you do 6 30 minute episodes there wouldnt be a need for this relationship
