Spotify Expands Into TV Shows
Streaming movies are a very popular way to enjoy your favorite movies. Whether you’re watching on the computer, tablet, or even your TV, streaming movies are a great way to enjoy your favorite movies. You can even create a playlist for your favorite movies so that you can listen to them whenever you want.
Podcasts
Whether it’s celebrity interviews, pop culture deep dives or weird history, you can find a podcast for nearly any topic on Spotify. And now, the service is expanding into TV shows.
The company’s first look deal with Chernin Entertainment is a good example of its broader approach to content. Chernin is behind such hits as Hidden Figures and New Girl, and it’s in the midst of adapting a true-crime podcast into a series.
The company is also cracking down on pirated movies. Spotify has invested heavily in processes to detect infringing content. However, the company has yet to reveal any additional details. And it’s unclear when it started the removal efforts.
Regardless, the company is introducing a feature that could be the next big thing in video podcasts. And, while it may be a bit clunky, the feature represents a massive opportunity for podcasters. In addition to allowing creators to upload video footage to Anchor, the service will also let them create their own video podcasts. This is an important step in defining the visual identity of their shows.
For example, the company’s Listen If You Watch shelf (see image below) holds up a topical audio mirror to media. On the shelf, you’ll find a list of recent cultural moments and curated episodes about the moment. The list includes a handful of hot takes and fan theories. It’s also a great way to discover more podcasts.
The company also announced the introduction of over 300,000 audiobooks. Unlike traditional audiobooks, you’ll have to buy them individually. But the service is aiming to make this an easier process for its users. This is a big deal for podcasters, as it gives them a larger audience to sell their audio. Hopefully, the company’s efforts will pay off.
The company also rolled out its first-ever video podcast. The podcast in question is The System: The Case of Kevin Keith. The show is hosted by Craig Mazin and John August, who read scripts and discuss proper naming for support staff. The title is a nod to a television show that ran from the 1980s through the 1990s, but the podcast has nothing to do with the show.
Music videos
Streaming music and videos has become a popular way to spend time. Spotify is one of the most popular music streaming apps in the world. In order to stand out from the competition, it’s been trying to offer more ways to entertain its audience.
Music videos have always been an important part of the music industry. They help fans connect to their favorite artists. In addition, they can also be an important way to increase advertising sales. Some bands even release a DVD of music videos along with a CD album.
Spotify is currently testing a feature called the Canvas, which allows artists to upload videos on the platform. The Canvas feature has been in limited testing with select artists. However, it’s received mixed reviews. Some users like the idea of having a full video experience while others are not interested in data-eating visuals.
The Canvas feature also consists of short looping videos that can be played during certain songs. In order to use the feature, an artist has to create a video that meets Spotify’s specifications. The best Canvas videos should tell a full story. They should also not have distracting graphics. They also have to be updated regularly.
Although Spotify hasn’t officially announced the existence of the music video section, the app has been experimenting with video features for several years. The company has even invested heavily in podcasts and spoken word shows. It’s also looking to introduce original shows and additional features.
It’s clear that Spotify has taken video seriously. Unlike other music streaming apps, it doesn’t give up on the feature. It’s also looking to introduce additional features to help music fans discover new artists. This could increase its business beyond music.
The company has also experimented with GIF-like looping videos. This feature, however, was a flop. The company also hasn’t mentioned when the feature will officially be available to the public. In the meantime, it’s time for artists to get creative.
The music industry would not have grown the way it has without music videos. With the advent of technology, access to equipment has become more affordable. Bands can now afford to purchase specialist equipment to produce videos. This, paired with the advancements in film technology, could revolutionize the way music videos are created in the future.
TV shows
Streaming giant Netflix is set to introduce a new series about music streaming service Spotify. The series is based on the book “Spotify Untold” by Swedish investigative tech journalists Sven Carlsson and Jonas Leijonhufvud. The Netflix series aims to dramatize competing Spotify narratives.
The new Netflix series will focus on Daniel Ek, the founder of the music streaming service. The series will include six episodes. Each episode will tell a story of a different Spotify employee. It will also look at the business side of Spotify, the artists’ livelihoods, and the company’s tech side. It will also examine how Spotify deals with music labels and record companies.
The Netflix series is being produced by Yellowbird, the production company that made Netflix’s popular series “Young Wallander”. In addition to the new Netflix series, Spotify has also announced a partnership with Chernin Entertainment, which developed the TV pitch based on Spotify-exclusive podcasts. The company hopes to develop original podcasts into TV shows.
The Netflix series is set to debut on October 13th. It will be released as a limited drama series. It will be directed by Per-Olav Sorensen. It will also be written by Christian Spurrier. It will be released in 2022.
Netflix has also launched the series The Playlist, a drama about Spotify. The series is based on a fictionalized version of the non-fiction book “Spotify Untold.” The show will feature Daniel Ek, the founder of the music streaming service.
The Netflix series will be directed by Per-Olav sorensen. The executive producers are Berna Levin and Eiffel Mattsson. They also have a team of producers, directors, and writers. They are bringing on a variety of actors.
Netflix has reportedly released a trailer for the series. The trailer acknowledges concerns about the company’s pay-per-play business model, but doesn’t mention the low royalties. It also seems to cast the legal music streaming service as an unfamiliar concept when it was first launched.
The series is also set in Sweden. It features an abundance of Swedish dialogue. It’s not clear if the director shot in English, but it’s possible that Hollywood studios would have forced him to do so.
Chernin Entertainment
Streaming media giant Spotify has signed a first-look deal with Chernin Entertainment, a production company that’s been making movies and digital video programs since 2009. Spotify’s chief content officer Dawn Ostroff announced the deal, which will see the two companies collaborate on “a diverse portfolio of original TV and film projects.” Currently, Spotify has a library of more than 250 original podcasts. It plans to adapt some of these programs for film and television.
Chernin Entertainment has been producing major movies and TV shows in the past decade, including hits like The Great Showman, New Girl, and Ford vs. Ferrari. It’s also behind projects like the Planet of the Apes trilogy, as well as the Apple Inc AAPL.O TV+ dramas. It’s a company that’s always looking for original IP to tap into.
Previously, Chernin worked with Fox Entertainment, but the company ended that deal when Disney acquired Fox’s feature film operations. With Spotify, Chernin hopes to capitalize on the company’s podcast catalog, which has more than 1.5 million titles. It has also been investing heavily in original podcasts, which are already a big part of its business.
The partnership means Spotify will have access to the production company’s library of more than 250 global original audio shows. The two companies will partner on new projects, including original scripted shows, and will share ownership of the projects. In addition, Chernin will help provide financial support for the projects.
The two companies have already partnered on a true-crime podcast called The Clearing, which was recently adapted for Amazon Prime Video. It’s based on the real-life story of a woman who thinks her father is a serial killer. The two companies are also in the early stages of adapting two fictional podcasts, The Two Princes and The Horror of Dolores Roach.
Chernin Entertainment and Spotify will also collaborate on new projects, including original series, and they’ll both have the opportunity to nab original podcasts for new projects. They’ve already begun working on the adaptation of The Clearing.
Chernin and Spotify haven’t revealed what the first projects will be, but it’s likely they’ll include narrative shows. And because Chernin and Ostroff previously worked together at Fox Entertainment, it’s likely they’ll be able to nab some of the company’s unattached IP, which includes the Michelle Obama Podcast, as well as the Dirty John series.
