Want access to your favorite Hollywood shows and the latest C-Dramas and K-Dramas? Streaming platforms Viu and HBOMax are set to offer a new streaming bundle that will give viewers in Southeast Asia the best of both worlds!
This streaming collaboration will be the first of its kind, spanning multiple markets in the region, and is set to launch in Q4 across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia. This follows a trend among many media companies, with HBO Max having existing bundles with other platforms in other territories around the world.
The bundle will offer complimentary content including HBO Max’s “The Last of Us,” “The White Lotus,” “House of the Dragon,” “A Minecraft Movie,” “Sinners," and "Superman” and Viu’s popular Korean, Chinese and local Asian shows such as “Running Man,” “2 Days 1 Night, “The Immortal Ascension” and “Love Has Fireworks.” The new single subscription plan will also include upcoming Viu features such as the third season of “Taxi Driver ” and “My Youth” starring Song Joong-Ki and Chun Woo-Hee.
“Following the proven consumer and business benefits of HBO Max bundles in other parts of the world, this new streaming offering will provide strong entertainment value for consumers across Southeast Asia, and help drive subscriber growth and stronger retention,” said James Gibbons, president of Asia Pacific at Warner Bros. Discovery, in a statement.
“By combining HBO Max’s Hollywood content with Viu’s Asian favorites in a single bundle subscription, we’re offering more choice in shows, easier access to diverse content, and greater value across a wider range of programming,” added Janice Lee, CEO of Viu and Managing Director of PCCW Media Group.
The new bundle will be offered via their respective websites once it launches later this year. More details on the subscription plan will be revealed in the coming months.
