Fable Studio's Showrunner platform is empowering fans to create their own plots using generative AI with familiar characters from their favorite TV shows and movies.
This innovation could help streaming platforms like Disney+ and Max, which face high production costs, to keep fans engaged between seasons. Fable's platform, which has already produced AI-generated episodes of "South Park," offers multiple shows for fan-driven spin-offs, creating new revenue opportunities for studios. Inspired by the success of gaming platforms like Fortnite, Fable Studio envisions a future where media companies can monetize fan creativity while navigating the complexities of IP control. This approach could evolve into a lucrative business model as generative AI advances.

I don’t know… This just feels like another way for studios to milk more money out of us. First, they want us to pay for multiple streaming services, and now they’re going to try to monetize fan creativity? How long before they start charging for premium AI tools or exclusive rights to create in certain universes?
