A new kind of television built for the phone: full seasons told in bite-sized, vertical episodes you can finish in a single sitting.
Microdramas are mobile-first, vertical TV series told in ultra-short episodes, typically 30 to 90 seconds each, engineered for the way people actually watch on their phones. A full season can run 60 to 100 episodes, with nearly every one ending on a cliffhanger that pulls you straight into the next.
What began as a niche format in China is now the fastest-growing category in mobile entertainment, with global revenue climbing from a few billion dollars to tens of billions in just a few years.
