Warner Bros. Discovery has ordered three new Thai originals exclusively for HBO and HBO GO in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

This includes Khun Pan 3, the final installment of the Khun Pan franchise. Taking place in 1950 after World War II, the film follows as sorcerer cop Khun Pan is persuaded to take on another dangerous mission in which he will have to hunt down the bandits Mahesuan and Dam. He ends up uncovering a conspiracy that challenges everything he believes in.

Khun Pan 3 is directed and written by Kongkiat Komesiri and produced by Sahamongkolfilm International. The cast includes Ananda Everingham, Mario Maurer, Phakin Khamwilaisak, Sarika Sathsilpsupa, Bhumibhat Thavornsiri, Chidjun Hung, Phillip Thinroj and Chalad Na Songkhla.

Also coming to HBO and HBO GO in the region is MarkKim + Chef, which follows soon-to-be married Thai television stars Kimberley Anne Woltemas and Mark Prin Suparat as they take on another commitment to learn to cook for each other like professional chefs, taking lessons from some of Thailand’s most prominent celebrity chefs. The ten-part series is produced by IFA Media.

The reality series Deane’s Dynasty, meanwhile, follows Thai celebrity power couple Lydia and Matthew Deane as they attempt to navigate the dramas of fame and family. It comes from 247 Pictures.

“This upcoming slate of HBO Asia originals is reflective of the growing popularity of Thai content,” said Magdalene Ew, head of content, entertainment, for Southeast Asia, Taiwan and Hong Kong at Warner Bros. Discovery. “We are proud to partner with Sahamongkolfilm International, IFA Media and 247 Pictures to champion homegrown creators, spotlight an incredible lineup of Thai actors and bring local storytelling to audiences in the region and beyond.”
