YouTube is introducing a new “Shorts series” feature that brings episodic viewing to Shorts, according to TechCrunch. The feature is designed to let creators link vertical videos into a serialised format, giving audiences a more continuous way to watch Shorts rather than treating each clip as a standalone post.

The announcement came as part of a broader set of Made on YouTube updates, which TechCrunch says are intended to help creators grow and engage their audiences. The new capabilities reflect YouTube's continued push to make Shorts a more flexible and retention-friendly format for both existing creators and those looking to build a following.
