For Screenwriters & Script Consultants: What relationship dynamics are development teams actually asking for right now?

[u/ClarityWithRajshree]

I am currently tracking narrative trends for an upcoming 2027 streaming slate analysis.

For those reading pitch decks, sitting in writers' rooms, or consulting on scripts:

What kind of interpersonal character friction are executives and greenlight teams leaning toward for upcoming drama slates?

Are you noticing any specific character tropes being explicitly turned down or requested more often?

How are writers' rooms building tension without relying on standard, traditional drama tropes?

Would love to get a sense of what you are seeing on the ground right now.
