Leading, regional OTT streaming platform, Viu is back again with its first Malaysian Original series for 2019 - Devoted, which will be released on the 28th of March. Devoted, a neo-noir thriller drama series, featuring Iman Corinne Adrienne, Sharnaaz Ahmad, Aqasha and Faizal Hussein, to name a few.
Produced by Serpentiga Films and directed by Tony Pietra, the 10-episode show is a neo-noir thriller centered around Eva (played by Iman Corinne Adrienne), a career-driven wife and mother, whose life is turned upside-down when her husband Rizal (played by Aqasha) and son Mika (played by Gen Darwish) disappear. She discovers that they have been recruited by an organization that is preparing for insurgence against society. The thought-provoking show highlights the conflicts faced by the two main opposing characters and how they tackle the problems faced with catastrophic pressures of family and career. If you’re all about intriguing storylines, wild plot twists, and extreme intensity, then this show is for you!
The new original follows the success of Viu’s first three original Malaysian series - Salon, Jibril and The Bridge - which were released towards the end of 2018. “We are extremely pleased with the success and performance of our first three Original shows and how well-received they were by our audiences. Viu sees the value and demand for great content so Malaysians can expect to see more high-quality, locally produced Originals coming from Viu in 2019. We are excited to continue the journey of Viu Originals in Malaysia by providing great local content that delivers entertainment to local audiences,” said Kingsley Warner, General Manager for Vuclip Malaysia.
Globally, Viu has produced over 900 hours of Viu Originals and the audience can expect more amazing upcoming originals from other regions like Indonesia, Thailand, Middle East, and India.
