A ground breaking digital series that defined a genre. The first studio-backed digital series ever, Mortal Kombat set a new standard for game adaptation and single-handedly established digital as a viable medium for branded IP.
Produced by Contradiction, the series garnered widespread critical acclaim and has been viewed more than 200 million times across a broad cross-section of digital windows. In its initial window on Youtube, new episodes averaged better than 5 million views each in their premiere week, besting most conventional cable TV series.
