Overview
- The companies formalized a co-production agreement this week to develop short-form Korean dramas for ReelShort’s global platform.
- Showbox will first adapt ReelShort’s existing IP into microdramas and later expand the slate with original short-form titles developed by the studio.
- The initial Korean lineup named by the partners includes Tell Me Not To Love You, My Secret Lover Is His Brother and Queen Never Cry.
- ReelShort says it reaches more than 70 million monthly active users across 100+ countries and has recent telco distribution in Southeast Asia with AIS, which the partners expect to use for rollout.
- Showbox is leaning on recent box-office success and its December 2025 short-form experiments to use the deal as a low-cost route to grow international digital viewership and production volume.
