Viu already delivers a raft of drama and variety content from Workpoint to its customers. <em>HOH Family<\/em> revolves around four paternal half-siblings from different parts of the world living under the same roof. The series will run over 15 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Helen Sou, senior VP of digital media at PCCW Media Group, said, \u201cThe average daily video viewing time per Viu-er in Asia is 108 minutes, while Thai people spend an average of 243 minutes per day watching online videos. Thailand holds huge potential as one of Viu\u2019s fastest-growing markets and requires premium content to suit viewer tastes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sou added, \u201cThis is the first Viu original drama in Thailand. We and Workpoint have a common vision of presenting premium content that appeals to our discerning audiences. Viu now serves 16 markets and is proud to provide our highly-engaged Viu-ers worldwide with compelling Thai content. We are also committed to investing in the local creative industry and promoting Thailand\u2019s vibrant entertainment community by taking Thailand-based productions to other regions as part of the diversity of content we offer throughout Asia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chalakorn Panyashom, COO of Workpoint Group, added, \u201cWe are committed to delivering high-quality work and firmly believe <em>HOH Family<\/em> will generate positive feedback from Viu and Workpoint viewers alike, as well as from internationally-dispersed fans who follow up-and-coming teen celebrities such as Gao Jirayu and Pan Pan, who star in this series. This collaboration marks Workpoint\u2019s first collaboration with a regional OTT platform. We are excited to be making a strategic move with Viu, which enables us to reach out to more than 20 million highly-engaged active users, and to be expanding our viewership at an accelerated rate as we take our productions to screens throughout the region. \u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PCCW Media Group&#8217;s pan-regional OTT platform Viu is collaborating with Workpoint Entertainment on its first Thai production, HOH Family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":5288,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[509,1266],"class_list":["post-5287","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-viu","tag-workpoint-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Viu Slates Thai Original - 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\/viu-slates-thai-original\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Viu Slates Thai Original - TVASIA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"PCCW Media Group&#039;s pan-regional OTT platform Viu is collaborating with Workpoint Entertainment on its first Thai production, HOH Family.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/viu-slates-thai-original\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVASIA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-02-11T15:00:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/07\/Viu-logo-2019.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"300\" \/>\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=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/viu-slates-thai-original\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/viu-slates-thai-original\/\",\"name\":\"Viu Slates Thai Original - TVASIA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-02-11T15:00:52+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-02-11T15:00:52+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/viu-slates-thai-original\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/viu-slates-thai-original\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/viu-slates-thai-original\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Viu Slates Thai Original\"}]},{\"@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.
