RoseBerry's Epis app turns distributor catalogues into vertical series

RoseBerry Media's first microdrama app, Epis, went live on 14 July 2026 with more than 100 titles and about 25 vertical originals planned for 2026, reported by C21Media (Jordan Pinto).

The distribution agreements are the substance. Reformat deals are in place with A+E Global Media, All3Media International, Banijay Rights, Cineflix Rights and Fremantle to turn catalogue titles vertical. Named titles include Sexy Beasts (BBC Three; Lion Television/Banijay), You Can't Kill Me (Channel 4/Fremantle), House in Flames (Danny Dyer/Fremantle) and Homicide: Hours to Kill (Cineflix Rights). Originals come from Lime Pictures, the Banijay-backed producer of Hollyoaks, and from Fremantle-backed Silvio Productions. The company is headquartered in New York with hubs in London and Tel Aviv, and was unveiled in early May. Named executives are Guy Hameiri (chief executive and co-founder of Abot Hameiri), Lior Friedman (previously Amagi), Itay Koppel and Simi Efrati.

It is a third model alongside the two already visible. China-origin apps such as ReelShort and DramaBox buy their audience with paid user acquisition. Owned-channel entrants such as WWE, Lebara, ARD, RTVE, Nippon TV and Character.AI bring an audience with them. RoseBerry does neither: it converts existing catalogue IP into vertical, positioning itself as "a curated, expertly produced alternative to high-volume mobile video".
