System and method for generating a custom summary of unconsumed portions of a series of media assets

A system for generating a customized summary for media assets in a series, the system comprising:

• a memory;
• input/output circuitry configured to:
• receive an input on a user device indicating that a first user associated with a first user profile and a second user associated with a second user profile will collectively be consuming a media asset from an ordered series of media assets;
• control circuitry configured to:
• access a first consumption history corresponding to the first user profile and a second consumption history corresponding to the second user profile;
• based on the first consumption history and the second consumption history, identify:
• a first portion of the ordered series that both the first user associated with the first user profile and the second user associated with the second user profile have not consumed yet;
• and
• a second portion of the ordered series that the first user associated with the first user profile has consumed but the second user associated with the second user profile has not consumed yet;
• and
• generate a custom summary that includes a first summary of the first portion of the ordered series and a second summary of the second portion of the ordered series, wherein a media asset from the ordered series is included in the custom summary only if a priority value associated with the media asset exceeds a minimum threshold priority value.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by control circuitry, cause the control circuitry to:

• receive an input on a user device indicating that a first user associated with a first user profile and a second user associated with a second user profile will collectively be consuming a media asset from an ordered series of media assets;
• access a first consumption history corresponding to the first user profile and a second consumption history corresponding to the second user profile;
• based on the first consumption history and the second consumption history, identify:
• a first portion of the ordered series that both the first user associated with the first user profile and the second user associated with the second user profile have not consumed yet;
• and
• a second portion of the ordered series that the first user associated with the first user profile has consumed but the second user associated with the second user profile has not consumed yet;
• and
• generate a custom summary that includes a first summary of the first portion of the ordered series and a second summary of the second portion of the ordered series, wherein a media asset from the ordered series is included in the custom summary only if a priority value associated with the media asset exceeds a minimum threshold priority value.
