EVERY MICRO DRAMA
Let's go vertical!
We created the Netherlands' first microdrama series with public broadcaster KRO-NCRV.
10 episodes. 10 days. 15 million views.
The next generation of drama starts in the feed.
Microdrama is a fast-growing genre of ultra-short vertical fiction.
Episodes run a few minutes, open straight into the action and end on a cliffhanger.



MICRO DRAMA
THE FORMAT:
THE LAST SUMMER
Ten episodes. Ten days.
One story that picks up again every morning.
Each episode runs two minutes and opens mid-scene, no intro, no build-up, straight into the emotion. The pressure climbs until the final ten seconds, then it stops at the worst possible moment.
The next morning, it continues.
Written vertical, not cut down.
Every frame built for 9:16, every title written as a hook.
One rule: every episode has to work on its own and make the next one unavoidable.
NPO's aged-down microdrama for tweens is going viral.
The Dutch pubcaster is proving that the hot format for Gen Z is also a hit with kids as its new vertical series The Last Summer attracts strong local viewership.
15 million views in 18 days.
In a market of 18 million people, a strong drama series normally reaches 300,000 to 400,000 views. Sometimes 900,000 over a full year.
Nobody was handed this series; they found it. One episode every morning, in the feed. Viewers who missed the start went looking for it, worked back to episode one and caught up in a single sitting. The comments became the second screen ,
theories, arguments, asking for the next one.
By the finale, one question had taken over: when is season two?
