ABS-CBN Entertainment has sealed a partnership with video-streaming service Viu to provide content for Filipino viewers.
The two companies made their partnership official during a contract signing event at ABS-CBN attended by ABS-CBN COO of broadcast Cory Vidanes, Viu Philippines country manager Arianne Kader-Cu, Dreamscape Entertainment Head Deo Endrinal, and Viu Philippines Content Development Manager Garlic Garcia.
To kick off the partnership, ABS-CBN’s upcoming drama series “The Broken Marriage Vow”, the Philippine adaptation of the hit BBC series “Doctor Foster”, will be available on Viu in the Philippines on January 22, 48 hours before its TV broadcast. The drama series tells the story of Dr. Jill Illustre (Jodi Sta. Maria), whose life turns upside down when she suspects that her husband, David (Zanjoe Marudo), is having an affair.
“With Viu as our partner, we will be able to champion excellent Filipino content and talent. Thank you very much to Viu for trusting ABS-CBN Entertainment as a partner. We look forward to many more collaborations as we work towards bringing the best of Filipino entertainment to the world,” said Cory Vidanes, ABS-CBN COO of broadcast.
ABS-CBN Entertainment’s collaboration with Viu is it’s third with a streaming service, following its content deal with iQYi to produce Filipino original series for international subscribers, and its partnership with WeTV iflix to stream episodes of its entertainment programs before they air on TV.
For those who are interested, the Viu app is available on App Store, Google Play, select Smart TVs, as well as on the web at www.viu.com.
