Audio Network France launches a music licence for vertical series
The music library's French arm has introduced Cliffhanger, a licence for producers of vertical series with episodes under three minutes, sold per series or per year with access to its full catalogue.
What this basis means: Disclosed by the company about itself, and not independently confirmed.
Audio Network France, the French arm of the production music library, has launched Cliffhanger, a licence designed for producers of vertical series whose episodes run under three minutes, Ecran Total reported on 12 November 2026.
Two options are offered: a licence per series, or an annual licence for companies producing several series. Both give access to the full catalogue at prices the company describes as adapted to the economics of short formats. No prices were published.
Anthony Lamond, managing director of Audio Network France, presented the offer at Paris Creator Week in early November. He said that in a vertical series each episode ends on a cliffhanger and music often carries the viewer into the next episode. The company said its catalogue was used by Le Magasin, a vertical fiction series from France.tv Slash produced by Elephant International.
Audio Network France is also a partner of Le Vertival, a competition for short vertical fiction whose prizes are due to be awarded on 27 November. The company says it represents more than 1,000 artists and over 300,000 tracks.
