Singapore– HBO Asia  has announced the renewal of the network’s dark action fantasy series, Halfworlds, with principal photography for the eight-part second season taking place in Bangkok and Batam. This marks Halfworlds as HBO Asia’s very first returnable series, with season two scheduled for premiere at the end of 2016 on HBO Asia’s on-air, online and on-demand platforms.

Created by HBO Asia and helmed by Thai filmmaker Ekachai Uekrongtham (Beautiful Boxer, Skin Trade), season two of Halfworlds widens the universe established in the first season, shifting from the back alleys of Jakarta, to the neon streets of Bangkok, where a tenacious researcher named Juliet is trying to uncover the secret world of demons that live amongst us, while looking for an ancient artefact of great power.
