HONG KONG – FOX Networks Group Asia (FNGA) and Endeavor China have signed a multi-year partnership to develop and produce premium original content in Asia. Endeavor China is subsidiary of Endeavor, a global leader in sports, entertainment and fashion.
The partnership will leverage on FNGA’s broad experience in producing award-winning original content and its distinctive international distribution platform, as well as Endeavor China’s full access to talent, financing and packaging infrastructure through its network of companies including WME, IMG and Endeavor Content.
Together, the companies will create high-quality, original, local-language Asian content in multiple formats, including feature films, TV series and short-form productions.
The partnership will kick off with Go Princess Go, a 20-episode Korean remake of a viral online comedy in China. Co-produced with Korean media and production houses, YG Studio Plex and LYD Networks, Go Princess Go will shine a light on Korean entertainment productions and Chinese creative concepts to audiences around the world.
