Audience engagement with subscription video on demand (SVOD) services is sliding, with multi-tasking on social media often relegating shows to background viewing. Social media is the threat, but also the catalyst for a radical recalibration of the SVOD viewing experience that will help these services claw back what is lost. Pushing beyond passive viewing, and toward a socially interactive experience inspired by video games and livestreams, will create the counter-offensive SVOD needs to win the allegiance of generation Z. Doing so will unlock monetisation and metaverse opportunities that will diversify revenue streams to protect SVOD’s future during a period of increasing economic uncertainty for consumers.
