🌌Stories without a fixed horizon
Shorts, series and experiments that are allowed to wander. Nothing here has to be exactly the length it was commissioned at.
A television network from Hollywood North.
Plop in.
Narrative Blob is a new kind of television channel — stories, animation, strange little worlds, recurring characters and the occasional fake commercial, made in British Columbia, Canada.
You don't need to know what you're about to watch. Arrive, get comfortable, and see where the story goes.

Welcome to the Blob
Not a schedule. A place that keeps going.
Most television is organized around programs. Narrative Blob is organized around somewhere you can be. Characters come back. Stories branch and wander off. The bits between the shows turn out to be stories too — one of them introduces someone you'll still be thinking about next week. Stories grow new characters, and those characters turn up somewhere else entirely.
You can watch it completely out of order and it still holds together. What comes out of that isn't a collection of shows. It's a place that's always mid-sentence, and you've just walked in.
🫧A world that keeps going
Recurring characters, places you'll start to recognize, and interstitials that slowly become part of the story.
🛋️Good for any kind of evening
Put it on and pay attention, or put it on and let it keep you company. Both are the correct way to watch.
Everything is welcome here
Imaginative, accessible, surprising, a little bit strange — and made to be watched by actual people rather than demonstrated at them. The Blob should feel like somewhere welcoming rather than somewhere you have to keep up with.
The feeling
You don't need to know what you're about to watch.
There's no pilot to catch up on and no episode one to go and find. The channel is a place you arrive at, and whatever is on when you get there is the right thing to have landed on.
What we want it to feel like
- WelcomedLike walking into a room where someone's glad you came in.
- CuriousSomething on screen you don't recognise — in the good way.
- Slightly surprisedNot confused. Surprised. There's a difference, and it matters.
- Comfortable staying a whileNo particular reason to leave when one thing ends.
- Interested in what comes nextThe channel is always mid-sentence.
Six ways to plop in
- Plopping into a story
- Settling into something comfortable
- Dropping into an unfamiliar world
- Joining at any moment
- Stepping into an ongoing stream of stories
- Becoming part of the Blob
Anything might happen next
Not chaos — just the sense that the channel hasn't run out of ideas and isn't about to. That's the whole feeling we're chasing.
What's on
Something for every kind of evening.
A growing mix of formats, all of it made for the same channel. Some of it you'll follow. Some of it you'll find by accident at 1 a.m.
Stories
Short-form and long-form narrative programming — the spine of the channel.
Animation
Original animated shorts, series and visual experiments.
Worlds
Explorations of fictional places, characters and settings that outlive the episodes set in them.
Comedy
Sketches, absurdist material and recurring characters behaving badly.
Science fiction & fantasy
Speculative stories and impossible places, treated as production challenges rather than problems.
Ambient & comfort
Atmospheric, relaxing and visually immersive material built for leaving on.
Experimental
Pieces that poke at what television can be, on the theory that someone should.
Interstitials
Blob appearances, jokes, announcements, fake commercials, channel idents and mini-stories. Often the best bits.
Coming up
First up, Elsewhen.
Narrative Blob is being built right now — the channel, the shows, the furniture between them. Here's a first look at what's taking shape.
🛎️No catching up required
Nothing here needs a wiki or a viewing order. Start wherever you land, and the channel will meet you there.

Made in British Columbia
Built where big stories go further.
British Columbia has been making film and television for so long that it has become part of the place — part of the weather, almost. Narrative Blob grows out of here rather than out of an attempt to copy somewhere else.
The place gets into the work
Mountains, coast, rain, long grey light, a city that keeps rebuilding itself. You can't make things in a place like this for very long without the place turning up in what you make.
This province has spent decades being genuinely excellent at telling other people's stories. The more interesting question is what it makes when the story is its own.
And it's for the people here first — the ones who'll recognise the weather in it.
Canadian, and happy about it
Made in British Columbia, and run on Canadian infrastructure — including, when it makes sense, hosting in Quebec. We're not going to pretend the hardware came from the backyard. We are going to keep the creative decisions here.
You're part of it
The Blob gets better with people in it.
Narrative Blob isn't something we make and you receive. Watching is the whole point — and the people watching should end up inside the story rather than sitting outside it.
💡Suggest something
Ideas, jokes, characters, a thing you've always wanted to see on television. Some of it will end up on the channel.
🗳️Decide things
Which world gets more time, which character comes back, what happens next. Some doors should be opened by the people watching.
💬Be there live
Watch-alongs, chats, and the occasional challenge where everybody makes something at once.
🔭See over the wall
Early cuts, unfinished things and a look at how any of this gets made — for the people who are curious about that sort of thing.
🌱Build a world with us
Collaborative world-building and interactive stories: places that grow because a lot of people are thinking about them at once.
🫂Founding supporters
The people who turn up first get to shape what this becomes. That isn't a reward tier — it's just true of anything this early.
Not an audience we broadcast at
A channel about a place that keeps going needs people in the place. The hope is that the people watching eventually become part of how the whole thing gets made — not a market it gets made for.
The long game
Always something on.
The goal is a channel that never really stops — new pieces, old favourites, idents, experiments and things that only exist because nobody told us not to. Not everything will be made in real time. The channel will just always have something happening.
New pieces
Recurring characters
Channel idents
Experiments
Fake commercials
Comfort viewing
Things that shouldn't work
