ReelShort to Adapt Tessa Bailey’s Big Shot Series | Exclusive

The microdramas platform will start production Monday for the sports romance titles "Fangirl Down" and "The Au Pair Affair" The post ReelShort to Adapt Tessa Bailey’s Big Shot Series | Exclusive appeared first on TheWrap .

TheWrap has learned that microdramas platform ReelShort has signed a collaboration with romance author Tessa Bailey to adapt two novels from her "Big Shot" series. "Fangirl Down" and "The Au Pair Affair" will be produced in vertical format on ReelShort. This marks a shift in ReelShort's strategy, as the company typically licenses titles from traditional authors and web novels.

The partnership, Bailey's first in vertical adaptations, will see the production debut of both adaptations on November 10 at The Telly Awards. ReelShort's strategy is rooted in the rapid production cycle of verticals, which aligns with romance readers' appetite for instant gratification. Bailey is excited about the potential of these adaptations and believes that this is the beginning of a promising trend.
