EXCLUSIVE: The microdrama streaming service ReelShort, located in Los Angeles, has announced the release date for the latest chapter in its beloved Bound By… romance drama series.
Bound By Love is set to premiere in just two weeks, on May 28, exclusively on the ReelShort app. We’re excited to share some exclusive artwork above and the official poster below.
This series, designed for vertical viewing, adapts Cora Reilly’s bestselling novel Bound By Love, featuring Rhett Wellington and Savannah Coffee in leading roles.
The original Bound By… series, Bound By Honor, was a massive hit, racking up over 400 million views on ReelShort. The latest installment continues to delve into themes of love, loyalty, and deceit within the gritty backdrop of organized crime.
Here is what you can expect from the storyline: “Aria is thrust into an arranged marriage within the mafia world with Luca. Initially, her challenge is to win over his affection, but the stakes are elevated when she aids her sister in escaping this dangerous lifestyle, betraying Luca in the process. Now, with their families embroiled in conflict and a child on the way, Aria is forced to confront whether love can truly endure when loyalty costs lives.”
ReelShort’s influence is on the rise, as evidenced by a recent article from Business Insider, which noted that Peacock has started acquiring microdramas from the platform as major streaming services begin to explore the potential of vertical video formats.
ReelShort is a subsidiary of the Chinese microdrama powerhouse Crazy Maple Studios, itself a business interest under COL Group, which also manages other vertical video platforms like FlareFlow.
