A microdrama is a vertical series of 60 to 100 short episodes, each 60 to 120 seconds, shot 9:16 for the phone and built to end on a cliffhanger. The format drives a large mobile-video market: global microdrama revenue reached about $11B in 2025, with roughly $14B projected for 2026 (Omdia, reported by Variety).

FAQs

What is an AI microdrama video?
A microdrama is a vertical, phone-first series: 60 to 100 episodes, each roughly 60 to 120 seconds, shot 9:16 and ending on a cliffhanger. An AI microdrama is one generated shot by shot in a tool like Morphic rather than filmed on a live set.
How big is the microdrama market?
Large and growing fast. Global microdrama revenue was about $11B in 2025 and is projected near $14B for 2026, according to Omdia as reported by Variety (variety.com). Short-drama app downloads passed 850M in Q1 2026 per Sensor Tower.
Which microdrama genres can I build here?
The six samples above span billionaire romance, CEO office romance, revenge, werewolf (supernatural) romance, period drama, and fantasy. Each has its own genre page with four example clips and the tropes that define it, plus thriller and anime-style pages in the cluster.
How do I keep the same character across every episode?
Save a character reference sheet once in Morphic. It is passed into every generation, so the face and wardrobe stay consistent across a 60-episode season. Pair it with one saved voice per character so the dubbing and dialogue match too.
Where do I plan the script and find prompts?
Start with the script-structure guide at /resources/guides/filmmakers/microdrama-script-structure for the hook-turn-cliffhanger shape, and copy-run prompts at /resources/prompts/microdrama-prompts. Then open the genre page closest to your idea and build from its samples.
Can I voice and score a microdrama in the same place?
Yes. Generate the shots, add dialogue and narration with Speech, run lip sync for a talking picture, score the cut with Music, and assemble everything on the Canvas. Nothing is exported or re-uploaded between steps.
