TikTok and MADE BY US STUDIOS announced a partnership on October 14, 2026, to co-produce creator-led vertical microseries. The projects are intended for TikTok and PineDrama rather than conventional long-form television distribution. The first two announced titles are Player, starring Hannah Stocking, and The Knock, starring Adam Rose.

The partnership was introduced at MIPCOM Cannes. It brings established social-video creators into a slate of scripted narrative productions designed for mobile viewing. The announcement identifies a co-production initiative, not a completed release of every proposed series.
