Television films, often referred to as TV movies or made-for-TV films, are films produced specifically for broadcast on television rather than for theatrical release. They typically have shorter runtimes than traditional feature films and are designed to fit into a television schedule. These films can cover a wide range of genres, including drama, comedy, and documentaries. Many television films are created by television networks and may feature well-known actors and directors. They often focus on specific themes or events, such as biographical stories or holiday specials, and are usually produced with lower budgets compared to theatrical films.
