Latest content trends in Film and Television - January 2023

There’s one question that’s always top of mind for anyone in the entertainment industry – what are the latest content trends in film and television?

Vitrina’s cutting-edge AI technology keeps track of worldwide productions in real time. Acquisition teams are able to track exciting programmes as they arrive on the market.

Awards, trade show trends, cast lineups, etc. no longer dictate content acquisition strategies. Buyers are asking for material targeted to a certain event or audience type.  For example, an acquirer is looking for niche cooking programmes. They want to buy shows that use food to celebrate local cultures during festivals.

In today's streaming market, plot matters more than performers. Buyers want to get content their consumers enjoy.

Vitrina prioritises titles by deal activity, popularity, release date, and your preferences. By providing a non-biased list Vitrina makes it easy to discover new content. Not only that, the list is also more in-tune with upcoming trends.

This is a refreshing departure from biased sales pitches, marketing, and prejudiced perspectives.

Found a tv series that looks interesting? Find out right away who has licensing rights. You could also look for similar shows and find new partners to collaborate with.

Track the relevant signals to discover exactly which titles will define trends. Vitrina tracks all of them!

Top unscripted TV formats - Successful travelling formats

Today’s premium, multiplatform products need planning from the start. You can’t come up with a show concept and then consider how many applications you can attach it to.
 
Viewers must stay interested. A prime-time slot is an excellent starting point but what else should we consider? A live daily ticker, an always-available online version, a game or interactive app? Or perhaps all of the above?
 
But first, you must understand the market’s requirements. Your show must generate a lot of interest. This is critical if you want shows to perform well both at home and abroad. On Vitrina, it’s easy to find the newest content that’s making its way around the world. In a few minutes, you can find the best content to acquire in your area. Also, it’s simple to find works that are anticipated to be widely well-received.
 
The number of unscripted show formats traded has increased. This article examines the global trade in unscripted formats. It provides information on deals announced in the last three months (Sept’22 -Nov’22). Check out this list for a look at TV format trends in 2022. Plus, here’s a list of unscripted shows that are travelling around the world. Both provide information about the market’s requirements.
 
The UK and the US continue to be the biggest exporters of formats. There’s been more activity in Canada, France, Italy, Spain, and Germany as well. It is also worth noting that Japan and South Korea are becoming more interested in the TV format trade.
 
Format experts Banijay Group and Fremantle face increasing competition. Newcomers have boosted local productions overseas. They’ve also increased their reach in format distribution.
 
Talent, game, music and lifestyle shows travel the most. Makeover and quiz shows follow.

Trending genres in media and entertainment

Audiences have evolved to look beyond traditional genre classification. A few keywords describing the theme and content are now enough to commit to watching a show. Vitrina makes tracking these trending genres in media and entertainment easy.

About this article – “Educational, Entertaining, Inspiring”

Audiences have evolved to look beyond traditional genre classification. A few keywords describing the theme and content are now enough to commit to watching a show.

Vitrina is striving to make trending genres in media and entertainment easy to find.

Comedy or drama is great, but “witty and quirky”  over “inspiring and provocative” is even better! Viewing decisions are becoming more and more specific.

In an increasingly digital world that offers almost endless choice to viewers, content providers and creators have also evolved to specialise in niche sub-genres.
Trending genres in media and entertainment

We, at Vitrina want to empower you to define and refine content discovery in the way your target audience would. 

Discover trending content using powerful search filters. Find content that is being picked up by distributors everywhere. Acquire rights to titles trending globally for a niche topic. Use keywords to track the latest content and find the best titles for your audiences.
Here’s some of the hottest content out there categorised by trending keywords.

"Coming of Age"

Coming of Age

A "coming of age" show is centered around the themes of youth, growing up, and maturation with a strong focus on a central character arc. These shows follow a singular protagonist as they “come of age,” meaning they progress into the next stage of their life. Protagonists are typically young and facing the first major dilemma, ordeal, or awakening of their life.

"Heartfelt, Emotional, Dramedy"

Heartfelt, Emotional, Dramedy Titles

Dramedy - humor with dramatic, often grim, elements. Its purpose is to make fun of serious situations and explore taboo issues. Good writing and conflict give the shows dramatic tension, which is relieved by comedic moments. Some of the biggest hits over the last few years sit in this category. With strong scripts at the heart of their success, they are one of the most cost-effective investments.

"Women Centric"

Women Centered Titles

Viewer sensibilities have evolved far beyond using the female-centric feature as a gimmick. Today, more and more stories build up images of women that closely mirror reality. Sexual misconduct and violence against women have emboldened many filmmakers to tackle feminist topics and bring them to life on screen. Women-centric television dramas have proved successful, attracting millions of viewers.

"Youth, Young Adult, Teen"

Young Adult, Teen, Youth

We can define Youth genre in relatively simple terms - films in which characters aged twelve to twenty play a significant role. While there is a popular tendency to classify shows as such, "Young Adult" is more of a broader category and not a genre. Within it is every possible genre: fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary, non-fiction. For many people, challenging authority and the status quo is a necessary part of growing up. Teens push against the rules of their families, schools, and cultures, as they try to figure out who they are and how they fit into the world. It is a natural part of the individuation process, but this rebelliousness isn't always received well by parents, authority figures, or cultures that demand conformity.

Witty, Quirky, Offbeat Sitcoms

Witty, Quirky, Offbeat Sitcoms

Everyone needs a good laugh from time to time, especially when they are feeling blue. This explains why comedy is ranked consistently in the list of most loved genres. A bit of comedy is always welcome. But, an exceptional comedy can simultaneously take the viewer on an emotional journey, whilst still delivering the laughs.
We all love quirky. Things that break the boundary of what to expect. And so a well crafted obscure witty script that combines characters or plots one could never think of resonates really well with viewers!
