Made-for-TV movie

A made-for-TV movie is a full-length film produced specifically for broadcast on television rather than theatrical release. These movies are typically created with a television audience in mind, often featuring shorter production schedules and budget constraints compared to theatrical films. They are designed to be engaging and suitable for broadcast scheduling, sometimes airing as special events or movies-of-the-week. While they may vary in quality and genre, their primary goal is to entertain viewers at home, often reaching a broad audience through regular TV channels instead of cinemas.
