RoseBerry Media is launching vertical television streaming service epis, delivering mobile-first entertainment, with a blend of original content and repurposed productions.
Among the production companies behind its first originals is Lime Pictures, making dramas Revenge is a Dish and Make Me a Match .
RoseBerry has already secured industry-first agreements with A+E Global Media, All3Media International, Banijay Rights, Cineflix Rights and Fremantle to repurpose selected shows from their libraries into premium vertical television. These shows include Sexy Beasts from Lion TV and You Can’t Kill Me: adapted from The Fall: Skydive Murder, Story Films’ true crime series for Channel 4.
epis launches with 100 titles spanning curated series, cinematic originals, reimagined favourites and premium television IP, adapted for vertical viewing across true crime, drama, reality, dating, factual entertainment and documentary storytelling.
RoseBerry is also planning 25+ original vertical productions in 2026.
Guy Hameiri, Co-Founder and CEO of RoseBerry Media, said: “epis, RoseBerry’s direct to consumer vertical streamer service is built on a simple belief: vertical entertainment can be premium. Audiences have changed how they consume content, but they have not stopped wanting great stories.
“With epis, we are bringing together world-class creative talent, proven television IP, original productions and advanced technology to create a curated, mobile-first service for audiences who want stories worth watching, whether they have five minutes or fifty. We know how to adapt any genre for the vertical format and believe there are no creative limits to what vertical storytelling can deliver or who it can reach.
“epis is also part of a much bigger RoseBerry Media ecosystem. It gives us and our partners a DTC destination, a testing and data analysis ground and a source of audience intelligence, while supporting a broader studio model designed to help the industry create, understand and monetise premium vertical television across multiple distribution windows.”
The service is also supported by data-led audience tools that help studios, distributors and rights holders understand and monetise vertical content across multiple distribution windows.
The launch of “epis” follows RoseBerry’s launch in May 2026 as a next-generation premium vertical television studio, built to create, produce, repurpose, distribute and monetise professional entertainment for mobile-first audiences.“epis” 2026 Slate Highlights

RoseBerry’s proprietary verticalization process combines human editorial expertise, AI-enabled workflows, reframing, graphics, music, sound design, localisation, metadata and quality assurance to transform long-form television into mobile-first episodes that preserve story integrity rather than simply clipping content.
Its global studio model brings together television expertise, audience insight, proprietary technology and global content partnerships to help studios, distributors, broadcasters, platforms, super-indies, mobile operators and IP owners enter premium vertical television at scale.
“epis” gives RoseBerry and its partners a DTC destination for premium vertical content, but it is only one part of a broader distribution vision. RoseBerry’s route-to-market strategy is designed to include additional distribution channels and affiliations, including white-label services, mobile operator partnerships, partner-owned platforms, third-party streamers, broadcasters, networks and digital channels.
Partners can work with RoseBerry to create original vertical-native programming or adapt existing long-form IP, then determine where that content lives, on “epis”, through their own platforms, or across wider third-party and affiliated distribution channels.
That flexibility is central to the RoseBerry proposition: a global studio, technology partner, verticalization engine, audience insight layer and distribution partner built to unlock new value from existing IP without compromising its integrity.
The service is available globally via the App Store, Google Play and online. Viewers can sample selected content for free before choosing to continue a series through a paid model, applying proven mobile entertainment economics to premium vertical storytelling.
