They go from season to season

Answer:

STORYARCS

Hint:

Think of the overarching plotlines in TV shows or comics that unfold across multiple episodes or issues, tying events together over time.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the double meaning of "season"—both the time of year and a set of episodes in a TV show. "Story arcs" are ongoing plotlines that span multiple episodes or seasons, making them the perfect fit for something that moves "from season to season." The wordplay hinges on interpreting "season" as a TV term rather than a weather one, which is a common trick in crosswords.
