Dose, a crime drama about triad queenpin and a female cop, will kickstart a five-title partnership between KC Global Media and Rein Entertainment.
The “highly-stylized” eight-part series is centered on the two powerful women, one a rising triad boss and the other a relentless international police agent. Forced into a tense alliance, they face corrupt cops, mobsters and violent enforcers as their initial mission for justice and revenge becomes a savage battle for survival.
The show was recently selected for the Producers’ Pitch at the Taiwan Creative Content Fest. No word on casting or buyers yet.
The series is the first of five new shows that KC Global and Rein will make together, and marks their second together. They have already teamed for AXN Asia mini-series Drug War: A Conspiracy of Silence, a crime drama set against the Filippino war on drugs.
KC Global is the brainchild of former Sony executives Andy Kaplan and George Chien, and owns English-language general entertainment network AXN, Japanese anime content network Animax, Korean general entertainment network, ONE, Japanese entertainment network, GEM, English-language general entertainment FAST network KCM and AXN Sports. The U.S.-based company has offices in Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, China, the Philippines, and South Korea.
Rein, based in the Philippines, has made the likes of socio-political thriller Bagman, LGBTQ+ romantic comedy Betcin, suspense thriller Nanahimik Ang Gabi (A Silent Night), Netflix Asia pic Elevator and The Caretakers, an eco-horror film set for international distribution this year.
“This slate marks an exciting new chapter in our partnership with Rein Entertainment, as we double down on bold, globally resonant storytelling from Asia,” said Bonnie Wiryani, Vice President, Revenue & Head of Content Sales, KC Global Media Distribution.
“We are proud to champion talented creatives and provide a platform to showcase their stories. Rein Entertainment brings deep regional insight and a track record of powerful, socially relevant narratives, which aligns with KC Global Media’s strength in premium content curation and international distribution. With titles like Dose, we’re investing in character-driven originals that challenge genre conventions and spotlight powerful female leads. This series also presents opportunities to develop remakes, prequels and sequels.”
“We’re proud to expand our creative synergy with KC Global Media on this new slate,” added Lino S. Cayetano, President and CEO of Rein Entertainment. “Their vast international reach and expertise in elevating Asian stories for global platforms make them an ideal partner. Together, we look forward to creating more content that reflects the dynamic voices and visions emerging from the region, and we’re thrilled to bring them to international audiences.”
