Finished, not in production
Complete series with every episode delivered. We are not funding production, and we are not asking you to hold a slot for us.
U.S. Distribution / Vertical Drama
Your catalog is finished. Your U.S. window isn't.
Addictive Dramas licenses completed vertical series for United States distribution. Non-exclusive, no minimum guarantee, revenue share on actual title performance. You keep the IP and you keep distributing everywhere else.
What we're acquiring
Completed series, ready to stream.
We are selecting a launch catalog now. We are looking for finished vertical series where the United States window is still open, in English or already localized into English. We do not license from a catalog description alone. Send screeners and we will watch them.
English or English-localized
Subtitled or dubbed already done is strongly preferred for the launch window. Tell us what exists and we will tell you honestly if it works.
Clean chain of title
Music, performer, likeness and underlying IP cleared for U.S. digital distribution and promotional use. This is the part that kills deals late, so we ask early.
Genres we're actively reading:
Romance
Revenge
Billionaire
Thriller
Crime
Mystery
Fantasy
Horror
Action
Sci-Fi
Comedy
The deal we're proposing
Our terms, in public, before you email us.
You should not have to spend three emails finding out what we actually want. This is the structure we are asking for. If it is workable on your side, the conversation gets short.
Rights
Non-exclusive digital distribution
You continue licensing the same titles to anyone else, anywhere else, at the same time.
Territory
United States
Additional territories only by separate agreement, never assumed.
Platforms
Web, iOS, Android
We will ask about connected TV for future use. It is not required to start.
Monetization
Ad-supported, subscription, and coin-based episode unlocks
We test models per title rather than forcing one structure across the whole catalog.
Upfront
$0
No acquisition fee.
Minimum Guarantee
$0
Nothing to recoup before you start earning.
Economics
Revenue share on actual title performance
Reported per title. We will define gross versus net and every permitted deduction in writing before anyone signs.
Ownership
You keep it, in full
No transfer of IP, no remake rights, no derivative rights, no option on future work.
Term
Two to three years, negotiable
With clear termination rights on both sides.
Promotional Use
Trailers, clips, stills, artwork, cast imagery, and substantial episode excerpts
Social-first marketing means running meaningful portions of an episode as the advertisement itself. We ask for this explicitly rather than discovering the limit later.
Delivery
Masters, captions, metadata, artwork
Plus documentation of chain of title for the rights being granted.
Reporting
Per title, on a fixed schedule
You see which of your titles earned what, not a single lump number.
Why this is worth a reply
Non-exclusive means there is no downside to test.
Nothing is taken off the table
Non-exclusive means every existing deal and every future deal stays exactly where it is. If we underperform, you have lost nothing but the delivery effort.
The marketing spend is ours
Driving viewership in the United States is our problem and our money. You are supplying content you have already paid to produce.
Title-level performance you can use
Every series is tracked independently. Even a small test tells you which of your titles connect with a U.S. audience, which is information worth having regardless of who distributes them.
How this moves
Four steps, no theater.
01
You send what is available
Your catalog with U.S. rights open, plus screeners. Episode counts, language and localization status, and any titles you would rather hold back.
02
We actually watch them
We evaluate the first several episodes of every candidate on hook, pacing, performance, production quality and subtitle or dub quality. You get a straight answer, including when it is a no.
03
We come back with titles and a split
A specific list of what we want, the proposed revenue share, and the reporting structure. Nothing vague, nothing to be determined later.
04
Contract, delivery, launch
Final agreement reviewed by entertainment counsel on both sides, then master and metadata delivery. Titles go live inside the agreed rights window and come down automatically when it closes.
Straight answers
The questions you were going to ask anyway.
Are you asking for exclusive rights?
No. Non-exclusive, and we are not going to quietly ask for exclusivity later in the contract. You keep distributing the same titles to any other platform, in any other territory, at the same time as us.
How new is Addictive Dramas?
New. We are pre-launch and assembling the launch catalog right now, which is exactly why you are reading this instead of a page full of subscriber numbers.
We are not going to claim an audience, a partner list or a launch date we do not have. What we can tell you today is precisely which rights we are asking for, how revenue gets reported, and what we deliver back to you. Everything on this page is checkable against the contract.
What does this cost us?
Nothing upfront. No acquisition fee, no minimum guarantee, no marketing contribution. We are not asking you to fund localization. The only cost on your side is supplying masters and metadata you already have.
What if a title does not perform?
Then it does not perform, and there is no minimum guarantee sitting unrecouped and no exclusivity holding the title hostage. We track every series independently so weak titles can come down and strong ones can guide what we license next.
Do you want remake, format or derivative rights?
No. Distribution and promotional rights only. No remake rights, no format rights, no option on your future productions.
How much of an episode do you use in advertising?
Potentially a substantial portion, and we would rather say so now than argue about it later. Social-first acquisition means running a genuine stretch of an episode as the ad itself, not a thirty second trailer. If your promotional rights are capped at a short duration, tell us early and we will work within it or pass.
What do you need delivered?
Master video per episode, English subtitles or dubbed audio, series and episode metadata, key art and thumbnails, and documentation showing you control the rights being licensed. We will send exact format and resolution specifications before delivery.
What happens to viewers who paid when the license expires?
It gets addressed in the contract rather than improvised. Content is geo-restricted and rights-windowed at the platform level, so titles stop serving automatically when a window closes, and we handle the consumer side of that on our end.
Content partners
If your U.S. window is open, we should talk.
Send your available catalog and screeners. We will come back with the titles we want and a proposed split, or a clear no. Either way you get an answer.
