Nippon TV’s Mother Being Adapted in Thailand

Nippon TV’s drama Mother is going to be adapted in Thailand, marking the fifth deal for the series.

The Thailand-based production house JSL Global Media acquired the scripted format rights. The local version is set to stream on LINE TV. This follows on previous format deals for Mother in Turkey, South Korea, Ukraine and France.

JSL Global Media previously acquired the Thai adaptation rights to Nippon TV’s drama series Abandoned.

Atsushi Sogo, president of international business development for Nippon TV, said: “Mother has secured scripted format deals in Turkey, South Korea, Ukraine, France and now Thailand. We have faith in another great production, telling the acclaimed story to more audiences in the world and are delighted to be announcing this second deal with JSL Global Media.”

Thiti Sutthikulphanich, executive producer for JSL Global Media, added: “After the success with Abandoned, we are very pleased to continue working with Nippon TV for the Mother remake. We believe Mother will be well received by Thai audiences. Not only that the story is very touching, but it also has a tint of suspense drama in it. We are all very excited about this project.”
