Fremantle and Roseberry to remake Neighbours as microdramas
The Australian soap's 9,300-episode library is to be reformatted for vertical viewing on Roseberry's Epis app, using the company's own AI tool, C21 Media reported.
What this basis means: Reported by a named news outlet, and traceable to neither a filing, a research vendor, nor the company itself.
Fremantle has partnered with vertical video company Roseberry Media to reformat the Australian soap Neighbours as microdramas, C21 Media reported on 28 September 2026.
The series comprises more than 9,300 episodes over four decades. It ended in 2025 after being revived by Amazon for two seasons. The vertical versions are due on Roseberry's Epis app this autumn.
Roseberry will use its proprietary AI tool, RedSnapper, to convert the material to vertical format. The company described it as the first time the tool has been applied to a long-running soap with such a large library.
Roseberry launched earlier in 2026 with distribution agreements that include Fremantle, All3Media International and Banijay Rights. The Epis app went live in July with more than 100 titles. The company was founded by Guy Hameiri, Lior Friedman, Itay Koppel and Simi Efrati.
Financial terms and a launch date were not disclosed.
