ai video is getting good in a way that feels less like ‘a new tool’ and more like ‘the new default’. you don’t just make a clip, you can iterate like software: change the shot, fix the pacing, re-light it, translate it, spit out 20 versions for 20 audiences, all without a traditional production pipeline. 2026 we will see high quality 10 minute+ short films and shows, no doubt about that. Ai slop will still exist but so will high quality content too. what’s bullish is the signal from the top. disney just did a deal with openai that lets people generate videos using disney / marvel / pixar / star wars characters inside sora. that’s basically “we’re leaning in, not fighting it”. and netflix is trying to pull the other side of the value chain into its orbit. they’ve agreed a $72bn deal to buy warner bros discovery’s studios + streaming assets (pending approvals), which is the clearest ‘we want the biggest libraries + production engine under one roof move yet if ai output keeps stepping up, i think you end up with fewer traditional studios over time. not because stories go away, but because a lot of “studio work” gets absorbed into software + platforms. more content gets made, but the old overhead shrinks this is where the market still feels inefficient: everyone chases the shiny apps and viral demos, but the stuff that compounds is underneath. video is expensive to generate at scale, so value piles up in compute, storage, delivery, and the data layer (clean, rights-cleared, well-organised) that keeps the whole machine running without constant friction ai video will look like magic on the surface. the real winners are the ones owning the pipes and the shovels that make that magic reliable and cheap for everyone else our job at Script Network is to build out and license as much of that pipeline as possible. the data layer for ai content will be the most important part of the ai industry, and 2026 this will really come to light.

Wish we could share sooner than Friday, but so excited to share this massive news, a testament to the hard work from the team, and the significant upside that awaits… LFG.

a reminder that the largest entertainment sub industry is content (streaming, television, shorts etc) 1.8b people subscribe to a monthly streaming service alone, with about 85%+ of every human watches content daily safe to say, this is a ridiculously undervalued market for growth

more on this and why it matters to you and to the wider video eco - will make sense soon proud to continue to build the future of video infra and streaming as we go into the next phase

broadcast / cable numbers down across the board whilst FAST (online TV accelerates) guess it’s simple, people want yo access TV without paying, without friction. go figure

viewing numbers are 📈 worldwide for all free TV - and we are seeing thousands switch over weekly from subscription TV to options that doesnt cost... this will likely, only continue for years to come senalnews.com/en/data/usa-fr…

this is licensed content from studios and filmmakers - all 100% legal, in your respective region. it's why script.tv remains difficult to duplicate in the industry, as simply, unlike a protocol or game, it cannot be forked. the channels shown is just the beginning, excited that we are being contacted by larger and larger content houses to air their films and tv shows too
