A hybrid genre is a literary or film genre that blends themes and elements from two or more different genres. Such works are also called cross-genre, multi-genre, mixed genre, or fusion genre. Some hybrid genres have become established enough to acquire their own specialized names, among them comedy drama (dramedy), romantic comedy (rom-com), horror Western, and docudrama.
