"PREVIOUSLY ON" is a new storytelling format that reimagines how audiences consume serialized content. It tells compelling narratives through AI-generated 30-60 second recap segments, designed specifically for short-form video platforms.
Facts
Unlike traditional "PREVIOUSLY ON" segments that recap existing episodes of TV series, this format creates standalone narrative experiences that imply rich storylines without producing full episodes. The innovation lies in writing these segments from the ground up to function as complete story units, while suggesting deeper world-building and character development.
The format responds to how modern audiences actually consume content, through clips, recaps, and highlights, while maintaining the emotional impact of long-form storytelling.
Beyond direct audience engagement, the format serves as a powerful proof-of-concept tool, enabling Storybook to rapidly test audience reception of entire story arcs before moving forward with full-scale production.
