Australian streaming platform Stan added its first Malaysian drama series – the local adaptation of premium Scandi drama, “The Bridge” – to its line up earlier this month in a deal with Banijay Rights.

“The Bridge Malaysia” was produced by Vision New Media’s Double Vision under CEO/showrunner, Min Lim, and aired across Asia in 2018 by streaming platform Viu and pay-TV service HBO Asia.

Lim said during ATF this week that the Australian pick up was a win for Malaysian drama, which has not traditionally travelled well.
