Korea's CJ ENM expands its footprint in the Middle East and North Africa in a deal that gives Korean streaming service TVING access to the UAE-based MBC Group's streaming platform MBC Shahid. 

The partnership, signed today during MIPCOM, kicks off with approx 13 new titles scheduled for release in 2026, along with 20 titles from CJ ENM’s library. The number of titles will increase over time, the companies said. 

All new titles will be available for simulcast on the MBC Shahid app, at the same time as their release in Korea.

The lineup includes “My Bias, My Boss”, “The Legend of Kitchen Soldier”, “Filing for Love” and “Our Universe”.

Arabic dubbing and subtitles will be available for selected content.

CJ ENM titles will also air on the MBC4 linear channel exclusively for a specific period. 

The new partnership builds on last year's content supply agreement between the two companies, and lays the foundation for "broader long-term collaboration between the two groups across media, entertainment and production".
