The answer

Writing television series and advertisements is often not free of শরعي (Shari'ah-compliant) prohibitions such as lying, deception, and music. If it is highly probable that these prohibitions are present, then it is not permissible to work in them. As for what is free from that, or whose status is unknown, it remains on the basis of permissibility. The talent of writing can be directed towards what is beneficial, such as writing useful stories for children, youth, or adults, even if they are fictional.
