Short drama statistics

On 9 November 2026, DramaSpot lists 31,413 English short dramas from 21 apps, adding up to 1,681,556 episodes. The median drama has 55 episodes, and the longest has 285.

Every figure here is counted from our catalog and refreshes on its own. It describes what DramaSpot lists, not the whole industry, since each app has titles we do not carry. You may quote these figures with a link to this page.

Genres

These are the apps' own labels. A show can carry several and some carry none, so the rows overlap and do not sum to the total.

Method

• A title found on two apps is counted once.
• Episode counts are the ones each app gives. Before an app is added, a sample of its first, middle and last episodes is played.
• Typical length means the median, so a few very long series do not skew it.
• 31,413 dramas joined the list in the past 7 days.
