Systems and methods for alerting users to differences between different media versions of a story

A system for generating a summary of differences between first and second media assets including different versions of a story, the system comprising:

• control circuitry configured to:
• determine that a story is available in a first media asset of a first type and a second media asset of a second type;
• retrieve a first description of a story arc in the first media asset, wherein the first description comprises a first sequence of plot segments that collectively represent the story arc;
• retrieve a second description of the story arc in the second media asset, wherein the second description comprises a second sequence of plot segments that collectively represent the story arc;
• compare the first description with the second description to identify a difference between a particular segment of the first sequence of plot segments and a corresponding segment of the second sequence of plot segments, wherein the particular segment comprises one or more scenes that are delineated by one or more changes;
• determine, based on a consumption position of the first media asset, whether an end to the story arc in the first media asset has been consumed;
• and
• in response to determining that the end to the story arc in the first media asset has been consumed, generate for display a summary of the difference between the particular segment of the first sequence of plot segments and the corresponding segment of the second sequence of plot segments.
