Streaming platforms highlight short-form series and Mike Tyson documentary

Streaming platforms are increasingly offering short-form series and miniseries as alternatives to long-running multi-season productions. These compact formats allow viewers to complete stories within a single weekend.

Netflix is set to release a four-episode documentary miniseries titled ‘Tyson’ on October 13 in Portugal. Directed by Floyd Russ, the series chronicles the life of Mike Tyson, tracing his journey from Brooklyn to becoming the youngest heavyweight champion in history. The production includes first-person testimony from Tyson, his family, friends, and boxing colleagues, exploring both his professional triumphs and personal controversies.

Other notable short-form content includes the Brazilian series ‘Fúria’, a six-episode drama involving an MMA trainer and a man with memory loss, and ‘Unfamiliar’, a six-episode espionage drama about former spies.
