Neighbours Adapted for Vertical Viewing
RoseBerry Media announced it is recutting episodes of the Australian soap opera "Neighbours" into a short-form vertical video format called "microdramas." These clips will be available on Epis, a new streaming platform. "Neighbours" originally ran for 41 seasons from 1985 to 2025.
Initial Content Focus
At launch, RoseBerry will focus on two storylines from the late 2000s featuring a character played by Margot Robbie. RoseBerry cofounder and CEO Guy Hameiri stated that "Neighbours" is well-suited for vertical adaptation using the company's proprietary, AI-powered production workflow.
Defining 'Microdrama'
Microdramas are typically short-form vertical videos, often produced on a low budget and designed for mobile consumption. They frequently feature convoluted romance plots and adhere to a narrative structure with intrigue and cliffhangers. The adaptation of a high-budget show like "Neighbours" into this format represents a different approach compared to traditional microdramas from companies like ReelShort and DramaBox.
Industry Implications
Hameiri believes this project will demonstrate how "premium vertical television will become a significant new entertainment category." This move could introduce classic series to new audiences and potentially influence how the entertainment industry approaches content production for mobile platforms.
