Sagas — serialised drama, one episode at a time
What a saga is, how the free episodes work, and what happens when you reach the end of them.
Sagas — serialised drama, one episode at a time
A saga is a story told across many short episodes, shot vertical for the phone. Unlike a normal post, the episodes are ordered: episode 2 follows episode 1, and the player moves you along as you watch.
Free episodes
Every saga opens with a run of free episodes — the producer decides how many, and some sagas are free from end to end. You can watch those without paying and, in most cases, without an account.
The free window is a floor, not a ceiling. A producer can lengthen it later, and doing so never takes anything away from you.
When the free episodes run out
At the end of the free run the player offers you the next episode. Unlocking one costs credits — how many is set per saga by its producer, and shown before you spend anything. Many sagas also offer a pass that opens the whole story at once.
An episode you unlock is yours. It stays unlocked even if the producer later shortens the free window, and re-watching never charges you twice.
Why a saga isn't all over your feed
Sagas are deliberately kept out of Pulse. A forty-episode story from one account would bury everything else in the feed. Instead a producer picks one episode to act as a trailer, and that is what you may come across while scrolling.
New episodes
Many sagas are still being released. On a saga's page you can turn on Notify me and Tubaar will tell you when the next episode is out. The page also shows when it is due.
AI-generated footage
If a saga was made with AI-generated footage, the player says so on the saga's page. This is disclosed by the producer and shown to everyone.
