Amavizion is a UK pay-per-view streamer carrying world cinema, TV series and documentaries. Its first vertical commission, 'Shambles', went live on 15 July 2026 and was reported by C21Media on 16 July. The series runs to 36 episodes of 45 seconds to two minutes, 45 minutes in total, and sells as a season for £1.49 or $2.01, with no coin unlock and no subscription. Pay-per-view pricing sets it apart from the coin-unlock and subscription models used elsewhere in the field. 'Shambles' is an 18+ comedy about three housemates in Cape Town, directed and produced by Bonnie Rodini ('Good Life', 'The Story of an African Farm') for Rodini Films in South Africa, with Angela Daytona Wu, Anathi Godlo and David Viviers. Amavizion describes it as a vertical-originals initiative inside its existing pay-per-view apps rather than a standalone microdrama app.
