A TV movie, also known as a television film or telefilm, is a feature-length film produced specifically for broadcast on television. Unlike traditional movies released in theaters, TV movies are often made with lower budgets and shorter production schedules. They can cover a wide range of genres, including drama, comedy, and thriller, and are typically designed to appeal to a broad audience. TV movies are often aired during special events, such as holidays or weekends, and may be part of a series or standalone productions. They can feature well-known actors and directors, and some have gained critical acclaim or cult followings. Examples of popular TV movies include The Burning Bed and The Christmas Chronicles.
