Passionflix is an OTT entertainment streaming platform and production company. The platform was created and co-founded in 2017 by director and producer Tosca Musk, writer Joany Kane, and producer Jina Panebianco. Passionflix focuses on releasing original film adaptations from best selling romance novels, while also streaming classic romance movies.

Establishment

In 2015, Joany Kane had the concept of creating a streaming romance novel service for women. Tosca Musk and Jina Panebianco joined Kane in her efforts to create this platform and Passionflix was launched in May 2017. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Investors in Passionflix include Dana Guerin, Patrick Cheung, Jason Calacanis, Bill Lee, Lyn and Norman Lear (who produced All in the Family and many other TV classics), and Kimbal Musk (Tosca's and Elon's brother).

in 2025, Passionflix has lost a significant portion of their subscribers because of controversy over Tosca's public support of her brother, Elon's Seig Heil. [5]
