What are microdramas and verticals?
"Verticals" is a term used to describe short-form vertical videos shot and optimized specifically for smartphone viewing, while "microdramas" are vertical soap opera-esque serialized dramas comprised of very short (around one or two minutes long) episodes.
Waiting for your train to arrive? Just pop on the latest episode of your favorite microdrama to pass the time. Only have a few minutes to decompress before making dinner? All you need is your phone to relax with a few mini episodes. Mircrodramas typically consist of anywhere between 50 to over 100 episodes, telling a full-length story in easy-to-consume segments.
"I think the format is so similar to social media that we're almost a lot more intimate with fans. We start to build this very engaged, very intense fanbase that wants to constantly see more from us," microdrama star Savannah Coffee shared in a February 2026 interview with TODAY about the booming industry.
