Outlook for 2020

Investment in production will continue to rise with a focus on high-quality unscripted and scripted shows. In APAC, we will ramp up productions in Korean dramas and entertainment shows, Japanese documentaries, original unscripted shows in India and new shows in SEA.
Asia focus in 2020
“Asia continues to be an important growth market for us and as our team grows we are looking at new opportunities to create locally relevant content that meets the appetite of our target audience. We are seeing a growing number of clients outside of Korea who are looking to partner with us to help them produce similar sought-after, regionally relevant content. Plus, we are creating high-quality documentaries in Japan to mark significant moments such as the Tokyo Olympics and the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II.” – Saugato Banergee, Asia-Pacific Managing Director, A+E Networks
HD/4K
20+ hours of 4K and HD content has been produced in Japan, with an additional 10+ hours planned this year. Last year saw the production of Crossroads, a six-part series shot in 4K that followed the building and grand opening of the largest integrated resort in the Indian Ocean.
Local Production
In Japan we are producing two local productions, Tokyo Legacy, which charts the development of Tokyo since the city hosted its last Olympics in 1964. War of Innocents is a documentary that focuses on Japanese civilians who were impacted by War.

LEGO® Masters
• Scripted formats and an increase in localised content. It’s evident that there’s a spike in demand for good stories and more compelling forms of storytelling. There are ongoing discussions on how to adapt these stories to suit local cultures and demand. • Escalation in digital-first formats, e.g Tripping: a road trip where likes (social fuel) translate into actual petrol. Thailand is the first global launch for this concept. With an upsurge in VOD services, content is being consumed differently. There is a greater appetite for short-form content and digital extensions of existing formats. • With the current challenging economic environment and reduced advertising budgets, we foresee productions going two ways: into the tried and tested brands that deliver, like MasterChef and Big Brother, which are likely to attract sponsorships. Parallelly, clients are also keen to explore more economical, small scale productions with relatively lower stakes. E.g. simple and fun studio gameshows such as Spelling Star and Ready Steady Cook. We also see potential for offshoots that keep franchises fresh e.g. MasterChef All Stars, MasterChef Singapore we did the Presidents Day special eps.
