Korean Adaptation for Designated Survivor

Entertainment One (eOne) has partnered with Studio Dragon for Designated Survivor: 60 Days, a Korean adaptation of Designated Survivor.

Designated Survivor: 60 Days is slated to debut on CJ ENM’s tvN Channel in Korea in July. Netflix licensed the series from eOne for the worldwide rights to launch globally in July.

The co-production will be led by Studio Dragon with support from eOne’s Mark Gordon, the president and chief content officer for film and television at eOne. The series stars Ji Jin-Hee (Dae Jang Geum, Dong Yi) in the lead role.

“We’re extremely proud of this project being our first co-production in Asia,” commented Gordon. “Korean media powerhouse CJ ENM and its production arm Studio Dragon’s impressive track record as a regional content creator is unparalleled and we’re so pleased to be partnering with them as we cultivate deeper relationships within the local creative community. It’s very exciting to see IP that we’ve developed for the U.S. has the ability to travel to different continents in new forms, demonstrating a great growth opportunity for the company.”

“We are delighted to partner with a reputable global studio like eOne in bringing the local version of Designated Survivor to Korea,” commented Jinnie Choi, CEO of Studio Dragon. “We hope that this will be the first of many collaborations where we can strengthen our relationship which will result in more international co-productions for audiences around the world.”
