Mediacorp teams up with Netflix for Singaporean Series

Mediacorp and Netflix have struck a deal that will see a range of locally produced Singaporean series being made available on the streaming service around the world from early 2017.

The pact covers more than 20 Chinese TV series made in Singapore, including the classics The Little Nyonya and The Golden Path. It also features more recent dramas such as The Dream Job and The Truth Seekers.

CheeK, Mediacorp’s chief content officer, said: “We are delighted to have this opportunity to showcase our local dramas to a global audience on Netflix, and give them a taste of made-in-Singapore content. We hope to cultivate more discerning fans beyond our shores, who are looking for high-quality Asian content. Mediacorp produces some 1,600 hours of entertainment content in four languages a year. We’re excited about making more of this available to a wider audience on Netflix.”
