Résumé anglais With a focus on Wave Makers (Netflix, 2023), this study explores how a political series moves from fictional immersion to fan re-creations and into civic engagement. Using mixed methods, including content analysis and digital ethnography, the research examines the interplay between the series' narrative structure and fan-driven mobilisation. The findings reveal that Wave Makers transforms fictional representations of political aides and campaign ethics into catalysts for online debate, fostering creative reinterpretations and mobilising political action. This study contributes to an understanding of how digital media shape contemporary fan culture and bridge the gap between entertainment and civic participation in Taiwan.
