TikTok's microdrama push and LimeShorts testing

TikTok is reportedly developing a dedicated short-drama portal with filters, rankings, viewing history, and direct episode access. Mansa Studios' three English-language TikTok Minis dramas provide a concrete creator-led slate, but launch timing, episode counts, access, and traction remain unclear; LimeShorts reportedly tests US pricing of $19.99 weekly or $199.99 annually.
