About the company

What the company does: It creates original scripted series for digital platforms by running an incubator that commissions many short films and selects some to develop into full series, which are co-produced and distributed online. How its product works: short-form films are developed, evaluated for potential as series, then expanded into longer episodes with collaboration from digital-native creators and traditional talent, and distributed via platforms like Vimeo On Demand, Facebook Watch, and TBS. Differentiation: combines an incubator-style development process with cross-platform production and distribution, leveraging both online creators and established media talent, backed by high-profile investors, and then monetizes through online distribution deals. Goal: build a diverse catalog of digital-first scripted content for young audiences and broaden distribution across online platforms.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Team Whistle's 50-plus-show slate and creator network keep monetization channels active.
  • DAZN ownership opens global distribution across YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook.
  • Kathy Grace's 2026 Lionsgate move validates New Form's talent pipeline and credibility.

What critics are saying

  • Kathleen Grace joined Lionsgate on March 3, 2026, removing New Form's creative architect.
  • DAZN's sports-first strategy sidelines scripted originals, weakening New Form's original-series identity.
  • If Team Whistle priorities shift, New Form becomes a legacy label with no standalone leverage.

What makes Newform unique

  • New Form built 43 pilots and sold 23 series by Kathleen Grace.
  • Team Whistle pairs creator distribution with 50-plus shows and five billion monthly views.
  • DAZN acquired Team Whistle on February 15, 2023, giving New Form platform reach.
