Candy episodes: the episode guide to Candy Shorts

What a Candy Shorts episode actually is

A Candy Shorts episode is a short vertical video, filmed for a phone screen and lasting roughly one to two minutes. Episodes are numbered and meant to be watched in order, because each series tells one continuous story with a fixed cast.

Think of a series as a very compact drama for adults: episode 1 sets the premise, the following episodes carry it forward, and the last one closes it. Everything is suggestive rather than graphic in how Candy AI presents it on the series page, and all characters are adults.

How many episodes per series

The standard format is 5 episodes. Out of the 52 series we have catalogued, the overwhelming majority follow that pattern. A few run longer: YES MA'AM currently has 30 episodes, which makes it the longest series in our list by a wide margin.

Counts can grow. Candy AI adds episodes to some series over time, and a Brand new tag marks the ones that have just arrived. Our guide to episode counts explains how we track changes.

Which episodes are free

The rule is the same across the catalogue. Episode 1 plays for anyone, no account needed. Episode 2 unlocks when you register a free account with Candy AI. From episode 3 onwards you pay, either per episode with tokens or by taking out Premium.

Every series page on this site shows the free count in its card, so you can see at a glance how much of a story you can watch before deciding. All 14 series highlighted below offer two free episodes. More detail is in the free episodes guide.

What it costs to finish a series

We break the sums down series by series in what it costs to finish a series and compare the two routes in tokens versus Premium.

• Tokens: most episodes cost 12 tokens each; a few series, such as Our Host Is Riley Reid and Nerdy Stepdaughter, charge 30 tokens per episode.
• A typical 5-episode series with 2 free episodes therefore costs 36 tokens to finish at 12 tokens per episode, or 90 tokens at 30 per episode.
• Premium: Candy AI prices it in US dollars at 3.99 USD per month on a 12-month plan, 8.99 USD per month on a 3-month plan, or 9.99 USD for the first month then 13.99 USD monthly.
• Premium unlocks the paid episodes across every series, which changes the arithmetic once you want to watch more than one or two stories.

Four series to start with

The full list of 52 series, with search and filters by length, free episodes and token price, lives on the series hub.

• Our Host Is Riley Reid: 5 episodes, 2 free, 30 tokens per paid episode, a digital twin series presented by Candy AI.
• The Prince's Last Week Unwed: 5 episodes, 2 free, 12 tokens per paid episode, a fantasy setting.
• Couples Therapy With Margot Vey: 5 episodes, 2 free, 12 tokens per paid episode.
• The Witch Who Made Me King: 5 episodes, 2 free, 12 tokens per paid episode, another fantasy premise.

How this site lists episodes

Each series page follows the same structure: a sober summary of the premise, an episode-by-episode table showing which episodes are free and what each paid one costs, then a short verdict on whether tokens or Premium makes more sense for that particular series. We have not watched the episodes, so we describe the arc in general terms only and never invent scenes.
