postshow

Postshow is a term used in entertainment to refer to content or events that take place after a performance, broadcast, or program. In live theater and concerts, post-show activities include talkbacks, Q&A sessions with performers and creators, and social events such as meet-and-greets or receptions. These segments allow audiences to ask questions, gain insight into the production, and extend engagement beyond the main event. They can be held immediately after the show or scheduled at a later time, and may be conducted in person or streamed online.

In television, post-show or aftershow refers to a supplementary program that discusses the episode that just aired. It may feature cast members, writers, producers, and critics, and can include spoiler-free or spoiler-heavy discussions. Examples include structured recap formats, interviews, and fan Q&A. Post-shows can be broadcast on cable channels, streaming platforms, or as online content, and some programs monetize them through ads or subscriptions.

In other media, post-show content appears as wrap-up segments in podcasts, live streams, or event coverage, sometimes called aftershows or wrap episodes. The practice serves aims such as extending audience engagement, offering context, and sustaining momentum between main program installments. Considerations for post-show production include moderation, accessibility, pacing, and spoiler management. The term is sometimes used interchangeably with aftershow, wrap-up, or talkback, though usage can vary by region and platform.
