LONDON, Jan. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Multiple lockdowns and working from home has resulted in many Brits having more time to binge TV shows and now, new research from FutureLearn reveals how they are a contributing factor to what people want to learn about and their possible career paths and choices. 

Key Points: 
  • Occasionally, the impact of your favourite TV shows is less clear, as seen in the one fifth of Brits who watch Killing Eve because it makes them want to travel the world.
  • Enjoying the fantasy world in which Game of Thrones is set (68%) showcases less traditionally academic skills such as production.
  • How Digital Technology is Transforming Film, TV, and Gaming can be the first step to move into that field.
  • By linking people's favourite TV shows and the reasons why they're drawn to them to potential courses and career paths it shows people they can train and work in an area they are truly passionate about."
