An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

A series introduces the main cast by adding them one at a time in sequential episodes, chapters, and/or story arcs. Usually a tactic by writers to get everyone collected before having any real plot started, and the audience feels they can start paying attention. Also a cheap way to ensure that everyone's relationship to the lead has equal history. If done badly is sometimes followed by Green Rooming. Can be especially annoying in things like Twelve-Episode Anime series if the cast has more than four people. Examples of Debut Queue include:

Even more common in computer games (namely, RPGs), with many such games introducing a new party member in each area, some even going so far as to have an obvious number of "slots" that are going to be filled up by the end of the game. The next step to a Debut Queue system is the Character-Magnetic Team. Contrast You ALL Share My Story. If the characters are all present in early episodes but are given characterisation episode-by-episode, see A Day in the Limelight. Characters introduced by Debut Queue may also fall under Hitchhiker Heroes. Examples of Debut Queue include:
