Netflix dabbles in shorter video content with its new set of publisher deals with Variety, others

Netflix is introducing short-form video content from publishers like Variety, Billboard, and Rolling Stone, aiming to cater to changing viewer preferences. Starting August 3, subscribers in several countries will have access to a variety of short videos ranging from 2 to 20 minutes. This initiative allows Netflix to test audience interest in content typically found online, such as news and lifestyle segments, which are quicker and less expensive to produce. The move comes amid concerns about viewer retention between seasons of popular shows, with Bloomberg noting that high cancellation rates and long production gaps contribute to this issue. Netflix also introduced a 'Clips' feature for short video snippets but now seeks to integrate more short-form content directly into its platform. The content includes both existing archives and ongoing series from multiple publishers.
