Short dramas,
crafted for the
way you watch.

Who we are

HOXBOX is a premium streaming platform dedicated exclusively to short drama series. Headquartered in Al Rawdah District, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we are a team of engineers, editors, designers and storytellers who believe that the next decade of entertainment belongs to short-form, high-quality drama — the kind of series that respects your time, rewards your attention and leaves you thinking about the characters long after the episode ends. Our promise to every viewer is simple: free watching, always, with a premium experience that rivals any paid service on Earth.

We launched HOXBOX in 2024 with a single, stubborn conviction: that short dramas deserve the same production polish, the same editorial care and the same beautiful interface that long-form streaming has enjoyed for years. Three years from now, we believe the most-watched dramas on Earth will be the ones that fit into a coffee break — and we want HOXBOX to be the place where those dramas live.

Our mission

Our mission is to make free watching of short drama the most loved format in streaming — by giving viewers a beautiful, fast and respectful place to watch, and by giving creators a fair, transparent and creatively ambitious place to publish. We measure our success not by hours watched but by a simpler metric: would you recommend HOXBOX to a friend tomorrow? If the answer is yes, we did our job. If the answer is no, we have work to do — and we want to hear about it.

Our vision

We envision a world where short drama is treated as a first-class art form — where a fifteen-minute episode can move you as deeply as a two-hour film, and where the artists who make that episode are celebrated and compensated as seriously as any feature director. We are building HOXBOX to be the global home for that art form: a platform that elevates short drama, that respects its creators and that rewards its viewers with a genuinely premium experience on every device they own — with free watching as the foundation, not the compromise.

Our values

Innovation

Innovation at HOXBOX is not a marketing word — it is the discipline of solving real viewer problems before the viewer has to ask. Our continue-watching engine syncs playback position across devices in under 200 milliseconds. Our recommendation engine generates suggestions without reading your contacts, your location or your microphone. Our adaptive bitrate pipeline serves 4K HDR on fibre and a graceful 480p fallback on weak cellular, with no perceptible buffering in either case. And our editor tools — the internal software our editorial team uses to review, tag and curate every series — are designed to make human judgement faster without replacing it. We do not believe algorithms should decide what is worth watching. We believe algorithms should help humans decide faster.

The future

Over the next 36 months, HOXBOX will expand into three new areas. First, we will ship native apps for Apple TV and Android TV, bringing the HOXBOX experience to the largest screen in your home. Second, we will launch HOXBOX Studios, our in-house production arm, which will co-produce 12 original short-drama series per year with regional and international studios. Third, we will introduce HOXBOX Live — scheduled premiere windows where new episodes debut simultaneously for viewers around the world, with a live chat experience designed for genuine conversation, not noise. None of this is speculation. All of it is on our public roadmap, and we will report on our progress every quarter.

Technology

HOXBOX runs on a globally distributed streaming infrastructure with edge points of presence in 14 regions across the Middle East, Europe, North America and Asia. Our player is built on a custom HLS and DASH engine that supports 4K HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, with multi-track audio and 14-language subtitle support. The recommendation engine is a hybrid graph-based and collaborative-filtering model trained exclusively on first-party viewing signals — never on purchased data, never on scraped social profiles. Every component of the platform is continuously monitored for performance, with a public status page at status.hoxboxdrama.com that reflects real-time uptime across all regions.

Quality

Quality at HOXBOX is enforced at three layers. The first is content quality: every series is watched end-to-end by at least two editors before it is approved for the catalog, and every episode is checked for audio sync, subtitle accuracy and video integrity. The second is technical quality: we maintain a strict 99.95% uptime SLA, a sub-two-second start-up time on 4G, and a 4K HDR availability of 100% on HOXBOX Originals. The third is experience quality: our designers run weekly usability sessions with real viewers, and our product roadmap is shaped directly by the feedback we collect inside the app, on the web and through our support channels. If something feels wrong, we want to be the first to know.

User experience

The HOXBOX user experience is designed around a simple idea: the interface should disappear so the drama can breathe. Every screen is built on the same design language — generous negative space, a single accent gradient, large typography and consistent motion. There are no modals that interrupt your viewing, no banners that hijack the top of the screen, no popups that demand your email before you have even watched a single episode. The app opens directly to your Continue Watching row, one tap away from the next scene of the drama you were already immersed in. We have spent more time removing features than adding them, and we will keep going.

HOXBOX is home to a global community of viewers, creators and editors who share a love of short drama. These Community Guidelines describe the behaviour we expect from everyone in the community — in reviews, in watch-party chat, in social mentions and in any other interaction that takes place on or through the Service.

1. Be respectful

Treat other members of the HOXBOX community with kindness and respect. Personal attacks, harassment, hate speech, threats and bullying are not tolerated and will result in immediate removal of the offending content and, in serious cases, termination of the offender's account. We take reports of harassment seriously and respond within 24 hours.

2. Be honest

When you write a review or comment on HOXBOX, share your genuine opinion. Do not post fake reviews, do not coordinate mass-review campaigns and do not accept payment in exchange for reviews. We use both automated and human review to detect inauthentic content, and we remove reviews that violate this principle.

3. Be safe

Do not share personal information about other community members — including real names, addresses, phone numbers or financial details — without their explicit consent. Do not attempt to impersonate another member of the community, a HOXBOX employee or any other person. Do not engage in any activity that could harm minors.

4. Be lawful

Do not use HOXBOX to engage in any illegal activity, including but not limited to copyright infringement, defamation, fraud, or the distribution of illegal content. Do not attempt to download, copy or redistribute HOXBOX content — all streaming is online only, and unauthorised redistribution is a violation of these Guidelines, the Terms and Conditions, and applicable copyright law.

5. Be constructive

When you give feedback — whether on a series, on a feature or on another member's review — be constructive. Critique the work, not the person. Disagreement is welcome; hostility is not. Reviews that consist solely of insults, slurs or off-topic rants will be removed.

6. Reporting violations

If you encounter content or behaviour that violates these Guidelines, please report it using the "Report" button next to the offending content or by emailing moderation@hoxboxdrama.com. Our moderation team reviews every report within 24 hours and takes action that is proportionate to the violation, ranging from content removal to permanent account termination.

7. Consequences

Violations of these Guidelines may result in content removal, temporary suspension or permanent termination of your account, at our sole discretion. We will notify you of the action taken and, where appropriate, provide an opportunity to appeal. Serious violations — such as threats, hate speech or child safety issues — result in immediate permanent termination without appeal.

8. Contact

Questions about these Community Guidelines can be sent to hoxbox64@gmail.com or by phone at +966 55 820 3267.
