This paper explores the intricate relationship between transmedia narratives and the construction of storyworlds. Transmedia storytelling, characterized by the integration of various media platforms and formats, has become a prevalent form of contemporary narrative expression. The analysis delves into how transmedia narratives expand the traditional boundaries of storytelling, creating immersive and interconnected storyworlds. By examining case studies such as "Star Wars" and "Harry Potter," this paper examines the methods by which authors and creators construct rich, complex storyworlds across multiple platforms. The key aspects discussed include the use of narrative archetypes, character development, and thematic consistency to enhance the cohesiveness of the transmedia experience. Furthermore, the paper investigates the implications of transmedia storytelling on audiences, who are increasingly expected to engage with narratives in a more active and participatory manner. Ultimately, the study underscores the importance of storyworld construction in the transmedia landscape, as it shapes the audience's engagement and understanding of complex narratives.
