MediaSpurs Featured in Gazeta Wyborcza on Microdrama in Poland
MediaSpurs and its Founder & Managing Director Łukasz Wysocki have been featured in Gazeta Wyborcza in an in-depth article by journalist Marta Górna exploring the rapid growth of microdrama in Poland and the rise of the format globally.
The feature examines how microdrama — short, professionally produced vertical series designed primarily for smartphones — has evolved from a predominantly Chinese phenomenon into a global entertainment category. It looks at changing viewing habits, storytelling mechanics, artificial intelligence, monetisation and the growing interest from established media companies.
If you’re unfamiliar with the format, we’ve previously explained what microdrama is, how it works and why.

Microdrama in Poland is going mainstream
A significant part of the Gazeta Wyborcza article focuses on the Polish market and new research into how audiences are adopting the format.
The article cites WPP Media’s first dedicated consumer study of microdrama in Poland, which found that nearly 10 million adult Poles have encountered microdramas, while approximately 3.5 million have used or tested dedicated microdrama platforms.
MediaSpurs previously analysed these findings together with Nielsen audience data in Microdrama in Poland: Research Shows the Format Is Going Mainstream.
Gazeta Wyborcza also draws on data and visualisations from the MediaSpurs Microdrama in CEE research, providing additional market context on the growth of dedicated microdrama platforms and audience behaviour in Poland.
Why is microdrama growing?
Speaking to Marta Górna, Łukasz Wysocki of MediaSpurs explains how the rise of microdrama reflects a broader shift in the way audiences consume entertainment.
Designed around smartphones, short episodes, fast-moving plots and strong emotional hooks, microdramas combine professional scripted storytelling with viewing behaviours increasingly shaped by social media.
“Microdrama is a response to changes in how we consume media and how we watch.”
The article examines why the format is so effective at capturing attention, while also asking whether microdramas should be dismissed simply because their storytelling is deliberately accessible and entertainment-led.
From China to Poland
Gazeta Wyborcza places the Polish microdrama market within the wider global phenomenon, examining the enormous scale of short drama in China, the international growth of platforms such as ReelShort and DramaBox, developments in the United States and the emergence of the first Polish productions.

The Gazeta Wyborcza feature also follows growing mainstream and industry interest in the category. Earlier this year, MediaSpurs was featured in Tygodnik Powszechny on the rise of microdrama, while SportMarketing.pl featured MediaSpurs on the rise of microdrama in sport.
MediaSpurs and the microdrama business
Beyond research and market analysis, MediaSpurs is actively involved in the commercial development of microdrama in Europe, working with companies across the media ecosystem on business development, distribution and commercial partnerships.
The Gazeta Wyborcza feature adds to growing independent media coverage of MediaSpurs and Łukasz Wysocki’s work in the emerging microdrama market, combining market intelligence with hands-on commercial development.
