Deepdub and Spikes dub studio catalogs into 130 languages

Deepdub, a voice AI localization company, and Spikes, which rebuilds film and television libraries for new viewing formats, announced a joint offering on October 8, 2026 that turns studio catalogs into localized short-form content dubbed into more than 130 languages and dialects.

Financial terms were not disclosed. Spikes' Series Engine reads the characters, plot and narrative arcs of a title, finds the hooks and cliffhangers the story already contains, and rebuilds it as micro-drama series, condensed cuts, teasers, highlights and marketing assets. Deepdub's eTTS technology then dubs each clip into the 130-plus languages and dialects while keeping tone, pace, emotion and each character's voice consistent across clips, episodes and languages. The companies say the offering complements full-length dubbing rather than replacing it, and targets catalog titles that have finished their primary release windows.

"Every studio has a library it has quietly written off," said Ofir Krakowski, CEO and co-founder of Deepdub, in a statement. "The content isn't the problem. It's in the wrong language and the wrong format for where audiences are today." Gal Yoffi, co-founder and CEO of Spikes, said in a statement: "Studios already know their libraries are full of stories. We rebuild those stories for new audiences through new viewing formats, with the studio involved and in control throughout."

Both companies described their own track records. Deepdub says it is a vetted vendor for Hollywood studios and works with the world's largest networks and streaming services. Spikes says it has adapted content from most of the major studios, with more than 1,000 titles processed and 30,000 micro-content episodes built, and that it delivers hundreds of titles within weeks. The companies also say the offering arrives as micro-drama and vertical-first series become the fastest-growing category of short-form demand.

No independent reporting on the offering has appeared. Every figure and claim here comes from the companies' own release, and the track-record numbers are their own. The arrangement is a joint offering between the two companies, not an acquisition, and no price, revenue split or exclusivity term was published.

For the creators SLOP TV covers, the deal describes a buyer of localized short-form capacity rather than a tool to sign up for. If the offering works as the companies describe it, catalog titles that now sit unused in a single language could return as a slate of shorts in dozens of markets, putting more localized micro-drama into the same feeds that independent AI creators compete in.

Deepdub and Spikes will present the offering at MIPCOM in Cannes from October 12 to 15, 2026.
