ABS-CBN, Viu partner to bring Filipino content

ABS-CBN Entertainment and Viu have forged a content partnership to bring entertainment shows to Filipino viewers.

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.

According to ABS-CBN, the collaboration accelerates the company’s vision to reach more audiences and promote Filipino talent worldwide as it evolves into a global content creator and strengthens Viu’s commitment to bringing premium Asian entertainment to its users with its massive and diverse content catalog.

“Viu’s goal has always been to provide premium Asian content to the Filipino people. Thanks to this partnership with ABS-CBN, we’re able to solidify our commitment to not only showcase the best of Filipino content, but also to represent and strengthen the presence of Filipino talent in the region.” said Arianne Kader-Cu, Viu Philippines country manager.

The partnership was made official during a contract signing event at ABS-CBN with Vidanes, Kader-Cu, Dreamscape Entertainment head Deo Endrinal, and Viu Philippines content development manager Garlic Garcia.

“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.
