Passionflix is a streaming service dedicated to bringing romance novels to life as movies, series and short films (called "Quickies"). Unlike other studios and networks (ahem Netflix and Persuasion), Passionflix is devoted to bringing books to life as authentically as possible. That means everything from word-for-word dialogue to the tiniest of details that are included in every series or movie because they’re important to fans.
Under the watchful eye of CEO and frequent director Tosca Musk (sister of Elon), Passionflix adapts bestselling romance novels into movies and series. The platform launched in 2017 as a means to develop content strictly in the romance sphere. As a billion-dollar industry, romance books drive the publishing world and Musk saw the potential to create a place for those books to come to life as films.
Each new movie or series optioned into the fold arrives with a devoted fan base eagerly waiting to see how their beloved stories turn into movies and as a result, there is a global community of romance fans who have been brought together through the streaming service. Some of romance’s hottest authors have seen their movies come to life at Passionflix including Emma Chase, K. Bromberg and Sylvain Reynard.

Passionflix categories
The Passionflix website is very straightforward and easy to navigate. You can choose from original movies or the library of older titles that rotate on a regular basis.
Each Passionflix original movie falls under the platform's uniquely suited rating system, called "The Bon." Ranging from one to five flames, the categories include Oh So Vanilla!, Mildly Titillating, Passion & Romance, Toe Curling Yumminess and NSFW.
Passionflix movies that include nudity fall into the last two categories. It's worth mentioning that while CEO Musk is committed to depicting love scenes as written in the source material, she does so with an emphasis on the woman's gaze. She also has a strict policy about no nudity (male or female) below the waist.
You can also search for original and library movies by theme. The six themes are Chutzpah & Hoohah, Love & Laughter, Thrill Me, Mr. Darcy and Company, Magic & Mistletoe and Wine & Cheese Lounge.
