Nippon TV’s HiGH & LOW Lands Thai Adaptation

The action drama series HiGH & LOW, originally produced by Nippon TV and LDH Japan’s HI-AX, is being adapted in Thailand by GMMTV and Parbdee Tawesuk for a 2027 premiere.

“We are delighted to see HiGH & LOW expand beyond Japan and reach a broader audience across Asia,” said Exile Hiro, chairman and CEO of LDH Japan. “Under the creative vision of GMMTV, this new chapter will be reborn as an entirely new interpretation of the franchise—one that sets itself apart from everything that has come before. From the setting and characters to the dramatic storytelling, every element will be renewed, infused with a fresh spirit and new energy.”

HiGH & LOW tells a story about youths who rise up to defend their convictions. The franchise spans multiple films, TV series and live events.

“HiGH & LOW is a blockbuster action franchise built on the concept of ‘everyone is the lead,’ spanning theatrical films, television series, music and live performances,” said Hiroyuki Ueno, general producer of business development, content strategy headquarters, at Nippon TV. “Created by Nippon TV and LDH, this original Japanese IP has captivated audiences with its dynamic storytelling and powerful visuals. We are thrilled that, through the creative vision of GMMTV and Parbdee Tawesuk, HiGH & LOW will now reach fans in Thailand.”

“As GMMTV—one of Thailand’s leading entertainment companies—celebrates the tenth anniversary of HiGH & LOW, we are truly honored that they will be producing a brand-new chapter, HiGH & LOW: BORN TO BE HIGH,” added Hiro.

“We are greatly looking forward to seeing Thailand’s talented cast bring this world to life with their own passion and unique perspective,” he continued. “We are excited to discover what kind of story will unfold and what new thrills and surprises it will deliver. Looking ahead, during LDH Perfect Year 2026, the HiGH & LOW project will continue to evolve, with a series of exciting announcements planned. As we enter a new chapter following the franchise’s tenth anniversary, the story is now stepping onto its next stage. Please join us in looking forward to the beginning of a new HiGH & LOW.”

Sataporn Panichraksapong, CEO of GMMTV, added, “This collaboration represents a significant step for GMMTV as we join forces with HI-AX, supported by the strong partnership of Nippon TV and LDH Japan, to bring the renowned HiGH & LOW intellectual property to life in a Thai production format, marking the franchise’s first international project. We are deeply honored to help expand and strengthen the HiGH & LOW universe, and we look forward to presenting a new chapter of this iconic franchise to audiences in Thailand and globally.”
