Serial Box (iOS)
Serial Box is a service that completely changes your reading experience to one that can be compared more to watching your favourite TV drama with stories being delivered to you in weekly episodes. The service works by the user picking a series they are interested in, they can then read the first episode for free, after this you have to subscribe in order to continue receiving weekly episodes. Episodes are also offered in audio format for those who simply don’t have time to sit down and read every week. Unfortunately, Android users are going to have to wait and hope that this unique service will be available on their devices soon.
Serial Box is the newest medium for series drama, bringing everything you love about TV to reading. Stories unfold in episodes, week after week. Easy to pick up, episodes are available in audio and text, and are enjoyable on their own but build up over the course of the season to tell a greater story.
We believe that reading should be as convenient, quick, and captivating as the best TV shows. Like your favorite shows, our serials are organized into seasons of 10-16 episodes that each take about 40 minutes to read. A new season every year. A new episode every week.
Our serials are fast paced and full of character as we aim to bring you the highest quality fiction in an exciting and engaging form.
