ReelShort partners with Vidio to expand microdramas in Indonesia

ReelShort, the microdrama platform owned by Crazy Maple Studio, has entered the Indonesian market through a partnership with the streaming service Vidio. Starting September 1, Vidio subscribers on specific packages—including TV Extra, Platinum, Platinum Extra, and Ultimate—will have access to over 200 ReelShort titles via a dedicated Short Drama tab.

The content catalog features genres such as romance, fantasy, and family drama, with episodes typically lasting 60 to 90 seconds. To cater to local audiences, many titles will include Indonesian dubbing and subtitles. The agreement, brokered by AR Global Media Network, also includes a co-production component where ReelShort and Indonesian production houses will collaborate on new series to be released on both platforms.

This move is part of ReelShort’s broader expansion in Southeast Asia, following previous partnerships with AIS in Thailand and Globe in the Philippines. According to Media Partners Asia, Indonesia is the largest market for short-form drama consumption in the Asia-Pacific region, accounting for 39% of the total audience. ReelShort currently holds an estimated 29% share of global short-form drama revenue.
