ABU member Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) is teaming up with Japanese pay-TV broadcaster WOWOW to co-produce and broadcast a new drama series, Mozu.

The co-production is the second such collaboration between WOWOW and TBS, following the drama Double Face, based on the Hong Kong thriller Internal Affairs.

Mozu is based on the popular novel Mozu no Sakebu Yoru by Japanese author Go Osaka and centres on two police security team members as they investigate the mystery of a contract killer named Mozu.

The first season of Mozu will air on TBS in Japan in April 2014, while the second season will air on WOWOW Prime in summer 2014.
