TikTok orders creator-led micro-dramas from Made By Us Studios

TikTok and Made By Us Studios have signed a multi-year deal to make creator-led micro-dramas for TikTok and PineDrama.

The partnership was due to be officially unveiled at a MIPCOM session, the international television market held in Cannes, according to Deadline. The shows are micro-series, meaning stories told in very short episodes built for phones.

The slate includes Player, a romantic revenge thriller starring creator and actress Hannah Stocking. She also serves as an executive producer, meaning she helps oversee the creative and business decisions, and contributed to the script.

Player is produced by Jonas Barnes. It is written by Arun Blair-Mangat and Chela Reyna and directed by Louiza Zouzias.

The slate also includes The Knock, a genre micro-series created and directed by R.H. Stavis. It stars Adam Rose opposite Zaria Simone. The series is executive produced by Spooky Pictures in collaboration with Little Walnut Productions, the company run by musician Moby, who also composed the music.

Made By Us Studios is led by co-chief executives Tanya Cohen and Leanne Perice. The studio launched earlier in 2026 when social marketing firm Made By Us moved into digital production for the creator economy.

PineDrama is TikTok’s stand-alone app dedicated to micro drama series, as reported by Business Insider. It rolled out in the United States and Brazil.

TikTok has tested this format before. Its earlier micro-series Screen Time, made with Issa Rae’s Hoorae, amassed nearly 580 million views globally and became the top-performing show on TikTok and PineDrama, Deadline reported.

For viewers, this means more short, free series built around creators they already follow. The new shows will stream on TikTok and on PineDrama.
