Lionsgate has taken an equity stake in the generative AI video company Runway and plans to pull from its existing catalogue of franchises for an AI short-form series, expanding a partnership the two companies struck in 2024 and cementing the studio’s bullish approach to the technology.

The expansion will also see Lionsgate and Runway start a new development program to create new content — and, thus, intellectual property — using AI, with a rollout planned for multiple projects that incorporate generative AI. The companies will also launch a series of “filmmaker-focused events.”
