Malaysian streaming platform sooka introduces a new microdrama feature, sooka Shorts, on Friday (12 Dec), marking the platform’s entry into short-form scripted content.

sooka Shorts debut with a slate of locally produced titles, including "Mandrem", "Gadis Dihina Pemilik Empayar", "Mak Kau CEO Aku" and "Raja Fitnah".

Selected episodes will be released for free, while full access will be available to subscribers on the Entertainment plan (RM13.90/US$3.37 a month) and above.

The platform also confirmed that the new feature will expand in 2026 through collaborations with regional production studios, including plans for original Chinese microdramas and additional Korean titles. 

The move positions sooka to compete in the rapidly growing microdrama segment, which has gained momentum across Asia on the back of rising mobile viewership and changing audience habits.

With sooka Shorts, sooka broadens its content strategy heading into the new year, adding an alternative format to complement its existing entertainment and sports offerings.
