ATTENTION!! Grab hold of your hats, and smelling salts: Coconuts Media is making video magic with iflix. We’re taking our wildest, most intriguing stories, and unleashing them onto millions of screens from Malaysia to Nigeria. Popcorn and prawn crackers not included.
iflix has commissioned Coconuts, Asia’s leading alternative media company, to produce the magazine-style show. The series will primarily focus on Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand, exploring Southeast Asia’s most weird and wondrous stories.
In 22-minute episodes, Coconuts TV will expose the underbelly and explore the offbeat, from going behind the scenes at a transgender beauty pageant in Thailand, to exploring the growing threat of HIV amongst Malaysian fishermen, or meeting the firefighting elephants of Sumatra in Coconuts’ signature “snarky but compassionate” style.
The hosts will be local talents, with a connection to the stories being told, for that necessary perspective to make our stories pop.
The release date is slated for early 2018.
Keep your eyes and browser tabs open for Coconuts TV’s in-coming teasers, previews, and trailers.
Until then, satisfy your taste for fresh and juicy stories from Asia at coconuts.co to get a flavor of what’s to come.
