The Daily Then™ delivers cinematic, short-form history for curious minds.
We believe history belongs to everyone—not just classrooms, textbooks, or network gatekeepers. Using the tools of modern storytelling, we bring historical truth to the scroll generation. Fast, sharp, immersive content that sticks.
Because curiosity didn’t vanish—it just sped up.
The Daily Then™ was created by a veteran television producer with years of experience delivering series for networks like HBO, Netflix, Showtime, PBS, History, and more.
But this isn’t traditional TV. It’s a new model—built for the pace and platforms of today.
We take the editorial standards and cinematic depth of longform documentaries and bring them to formats that fit your feed. Shorts. Mini-docs. Episodic series. Every story is told with intention—and with no fear of complexity.
We’re not afraid of the scroll. We’re embracing it.
Every series we make is designed to meet modern viewers where they are—without dumbing anything down. We move fast, but we dig deep. We confront hard truths when networks won’t.
In The Foods That Made Us, we confront slavery, empire, and resistance—woven through recipes we take for granted. In America: A Land of Nations, we explore the sovereign Indigenous nations that existed long before conquest, in stories networks have ignored for decades.
We’re doing what legacy media won’t. Not because it’s easy—because it’s overdue.
The Daily Then™ isn’t just a channel. It’s a growing, evergreen library—organized into full series, structured by seasons, and built to expand.
Every series follows a simple but powerful format: cinematic reenactments, expert insights, sharp narration, and a structure that supports ongoing seasons. Season 1 is never the end. It's just the beginning.
- The Foods That Made Us — Season 1 includes six foundational episodes, with future seasons already mapped. Every culture, every flavor, every revolution—this series has legs.
- History Influencers — 52 episodes, one for every week of the year. Season 1 reimagines major historical moments through the modern creator lens.
- Today in History — 366 daily shorts. Timeless. Repeatable. Always in season.
- The Beliefs That Made Us, The Myths We Believe, The Wars That Changed Us, The Inventions That Changed the World — each designed for multi-season scale.
- America: A Land of Nations — A sweeping, pre-conquest series spotlighting Indigenous sovereignty, science, diplomacy, and innovation.
And coming soon:
- Stories of the States — Three states per episode. Fast, sharp, and weird.
- The American President — A series on every president. Who they were, what they inherited, and how they changed the country.
These are just the beginning. We have dozens more series in development—and a format flexible enough to tell stories the industry has overlooked. While we maintain full creative control, we also partner with like-minded organizations to build series that align with shared missions.
If the subject matters, we can make it. If the audience needs it, we’ll find them.
Our production model is built for the future—not the past.
Using the latest AI-assisted tools, cinematic visual platforms, and editorial workflows, we create fully licensed, cleared, and distribution-ready programming at a fraction of traditional network costs.
Every frame, every reenactment, every word is original. All imagery is rights-cleared. All scripts and concepts are owned by the company. No third-party dependencies. No expensive middle layers.
This isn’t just fast content—it’s broadcast-level, high-concept series production built for the platforms that matter now.
It’s how we can move quickly. It’s how we can tell more stories.
It’s how we’re rewriting the rules of television—one episode at a time.
Traditional media isn’t just changing—it’s collapsing.
It’s slow. Expensive. Risk-averse. Buried in rights issues, development purgatory, and outdated gatekeeping.
It took too long to adapt. It’s still taking too long.
At The Daily Then, we didn’t wait.
We’re already doing what networks can’t—or won’t.
Because the future of storytelling doesn’t belong to legacy studios.
It belongs to creators who know how to move.
We’re not just building a new history library. We’re building the next system.
