From Twilight Zone to X files to Fringe. Random sci fi concepts in a story with overarching plot. Did streaming kill it?

twilight zone never traversed episodes. they were all stand-alone vignettes

Why would streaming be the culprit?

From memory streaming services greenlight on a per season basis. While pre 2010s you would be greenlit for 2 or 3 seasons and you would hear after the first season of you would be renewed.

Okay but how would that hurt science fiction anthologies specifically?

Most shows want to have a regular staff, especially if some are stars. With anthology each episode require new casting.
