Microhouse Films is a celebrity-led US vertical platform announced in April 2026, and launched on 7 July 2026 alongside a Los Angeles launch event. It opened with seven originals, led by 'Tides of Temptation', the first microdrama from Lifetime and A+E Global Media. That title is set on Nevis, is chapter-based and stars Q Stenline (SwagBoyQ), Mea Wilkerson and Troy Brookins; it was directed by Gary and Edmund Entin and produced in association with Motion Entertainment, a WPP Media company, with Chet Fenster executive producing. Four further vertical series are in development under the Lifetime and Microhouse partnership. Rob Sharenow of A+E called it a "smart, strategic way to enter the vertical space". On 12 October 2026 it unveiled a fall slate, with two titles premiering at the Alza vertical video festival on 18 October.
