BuzzFeed Studios and vertical video firm MuVpix have entered a two-year partnership to produce more than 100 microdrama titles. These productions will be launched across multiple platforms. The initial offering from this collaboration will be Romeo & Juliet, Reimagined, a contemporary adaptation of the Shakespearean classic.
This reimagined series, set in the criminal underworld of modern Los Angeles, stars Gabrielle Faith Brown and Clayton Carrozza. It will be available in both horizontal and vertical formats. The partnership intends to blend MuVpix's distribution capabilities and technology with BuzzFeed Studios' storytelling expertise, production infrastructure, and marketing prowess. Content will be developed natively for platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, as well as FAST/CTV and MuVpix's own platform.
The collaboration marks a significant expansion into microdrama for BuzzFeed Studios. It follows the recent acquisition of BuzzFeed's parent company. This strategic alliance aims to elevate the quality and scale of content produced for the rapidly growing vertical video market, catering to audiences already consuming content in these formats.
