A new entertainment format is rapidly attracting audiences: short-form scripted microdramas designed primarily for smartphones.
Reuters reports that production companies and studios are increasingly exploring the format as Hollywood searches for ways to reach audiences accustomed to TikTok and other short-video platforms.

Why audiences are responding
