Thailand’s True Corp is making a play for digital streaming audiences in Indonesia and the Philippines with a duo of AVOD platforms that offer everything from news and short-form content to recent/library Korean, Thai and other Asian premium drama series.  

Thai joint venture, True CJ Creations, is charting a new path for scripted and non-scripted content in Asia, blending Thai practices and tastes with Korean skills and values.

Writer, creator & director Asim Abbasi, talks to ContentAsia’s Janine Stein about his new drama, Churails (Witches), a thriller about four women in Pakistan who form a detective agency to find cheating husbands and find themselves embroiled in a conspiracy.

Nippon TV & The Story Lab open new windows on co-development with a hybrid game-show-talent contest that premiered in Japan at the end of September and makes its global debut at Mipcom.  

Thailand remains among Asia’s top formats markets, despite an almost 30% drop in volume this year against last year, and is showing every sign that Covid-19 related pressures are easing.   

We’re heading into the last quarter of a foul year.
