The 30×1-hour drama has been produced by Tencent Penguin Pictures, Shanghai 99 Visual and Easy Entertainment for Tencent Network in China and for WarnerMedia Entertainment Networks in Southeast Asia. Miss S will air as an HBO Asia Original on WarnerMedia’s regional streaming service HBO GO and then the HBO channel.

The series stars award-winning actress Mai Yi Li (The First Half of My Life, Struggle) in the title role.

“Miss S is the latest in a growing number of compelling HBO Asia Original series, which offer audiences new stories that resonate in both Southeast Asia and beyond,” said Clement Schwebig, managing director of WarnerMedia Entertainment Networks, Southeast Asia, Pacific and China. “HBO GO subscribers will also be available to stream this beautifully-made adaptation first and exclusively.”
