TV movies, also known as made-for-TV films, are films produced specifically for television broadcast rather than for theatrical release. They often have lower budgets than traditional movies and are typically shorter in length, usually ranging from 60 to 120 minutes. These films can cover various genres, including drama, comedy, and thriller, and are often created to attract specific audiences. Many TV movies are based on true stories, novels, or popular events, making them appealing to viewers. They are frequently aired on networks like Hallmark, Lifetime, or ABC, and may feature well-known actors. TV movies can also serve as a platform for new talent in the film industry.
