Mini-series: a short run of episodes
A mini-series is a series with a set, small number of episodes that tells one complete story. On AI showcases it is the smallest shape that still proves a tool can work in episodes. From 3 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.
GenCartoon's homepage shows one, Miso & the Little Dragon, in three numbered and titled episodes about a fox cub and a glowing egg.
Morphic presents Blood through its opening and episode one; Flixly shows a long video, Little Learners, cut into numbered 15-second parts.
Three episodes are enough to show whether a character looks the same in the second and third as in the first, which a single piece cannot.
They are not enough to show a season's arc. For that, look for a longer list, such as Revid's two seasons.

2Behind a finished episode
The finished work behind “Mini-series” is made in steps; SceneMixer's guides describe them:
SceneMixer turns a novel into a watchable short-drama series in one pipeline: upload the novel (Chinese or English) → AI extracts characters, scenes, and an episode-by-episode structure → generates consistent character and scene art → writes storyboard scripts → renders video segment by segment (16:9 by default, 9:16 in one setting) → composites full episodes.

Character consistency in AI short drama means one character keeps the same face, the same wardrobe and props, and the same art direction across the dozens to hundreds of shots in a series.
