To help promote the show, Nippon TV (majority owner of Hulu Japan) will air the first episode of the series as part of its\u00a0Hulu Episode-1 Theater block. The show\u00a0will also be made available on TVer, the AVOD service operated by five terrestrial broadcasters, on a catch-up basis for one week. BS Nippon will then launch the series beginning November 10.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;We believe <em>The Day After<\/em>\u00a0has a huge potential in Japan given the popularity of <em>The Walking Dead<\/em>\u00a0and other zombie dramas here,&#8221; said\u00a0Kazufumi Nagasawa, chief content officer at Hulu Japan. &#8220;Needless to say, exclusivity is something we do care about, as others do, so it is very unusual that a series is premiered in Japan on OTT, DVD and TV simultaneously. However, we thought that there could be a huge synergy for promotion due to the multiple exposure achieved by launching across multiple platforms and have decided to prioritize\u00a0overall exposure this time. We hope that the show will be enjoyed by as many users as possible in Japan and that we continue to be able to introduce outstanding shows from around the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hulu Japan inked the deal with Russia&#8217;s Art Pictures.\u00a0<em>The Day After\u00a0<\/em>has run for three seasons on CTC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hulu Japan has licensed a Russian drama series for the first time, picking up the rights to the zombie thriller The Day After.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":4988,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[272,1155],"class_list":["post-4987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-hulu-japan","tag-the-day-after"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Hulu Japan Takes Russian Zombie Drama - TVASIA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/hulu-japan-takes-russian-zombie-drama\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Hulu Japan Takes Russian Zombie Drama - TVASIA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hulu Japan has licensed a Russian drama series for the first time, picking up the rights to the zombie thriller The Day After.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/hulu-japan-takes-russian-zombie-drama\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVASIA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-08-20T14:01:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-08-20T14:47:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/07\/TheDayAfter-Hulu-818.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"378\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/hulu-japan-takes-russian-zombie-drama\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/hulu-japan-takes-russian-zombie-drama\/\",\"name\":\"Hulu Japan Takes Russian Zombie Drama - TVASIA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2018-08-20T14:01:01+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2018-08-20T14:47:31+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/hulu-japan-takes-russian-zombie-drama\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/hulu-japan-takes-russian-zombie-drama\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/hulu-japan-takes-russian-zombie-drama\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Hulu Japan Takes Russian Zombie Drama\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/\",\"name\":\"TVASIA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
