In a retelling that chronicles her struggles, May Wong defies family tradition while plotting her way to the top.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rise to Power<\/em>, which will answer questions raised in season one of <em>KL Gangster Underworld<\/em> and foreshadow what\u2019s to come in season two, reunites filmmakers from Skop Productions with directors Faisal Ishak and Syafiq Yusof. In addition to Madam Wong, returning characters will include Zan (Hasnul Rahmat), Tauke (Azhan Rani), Shah (Beto Kusyairy), Adi (Zahiril Adzim), Belut (Amerul Affendi) and King (Ridzuan Hashim). Elvis Chin, Tony Eusoff and Sharifah Sakinah are among those new to the franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Season two of <em>KL Gangster Underworld<\/em> is set to begin shooting in November ahead of a 2020 release.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Francis, iflix&#8217;s global director of original programming, said, \u201cWhen we looked at the feedback from fans who made <em>KL Gangster Underworld<\/em> season one one of our most successful series, we realized they were particularly intrigued by the character of Madam Wong and the nature of her relationship with Ayah Zan. We were in the planning stages for season two when Dynas became pregnant, and it occurred to us that we could preempt the second season with a story set ten years before the events of season one, thereby &#8216;resurrecting&#8217; Zan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Francis added: \u201cThis movie is really unique for its strong and ruthless female lead while serving up the level of fight action and plot intrigue that is making the <em>KL Gangster Underworld<\/em> franchise a true fan favorite.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iflix is set to release Rise to Power, a spin-off movie in the KL Gangster Underworld universe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":11816,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1636,3284,3285],"class_list":["post-11815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-iflix","tag-kl-gangster-underworld","tag-rise-to-power","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>iflix to Launch New KL Gangster Underworld Movie - TVDRAMA<\/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\/tvdrama\/iflix-to-launch-new-kl-gangster-underworld-movie\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"iflix to Launch New KL Gangster Underworld Movie - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"iflix is set to release Rise to Power, a spin-off movie in the KL Gangster Underworld universe.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/iflix-to-launch-new-kl-gangster-underworld-movie\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-08-26T14:07:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/rise-to-power-iflix-819.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"450\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/iflix-to-launch-new-kl-gangster-underworld-movie\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/iflix-to-launch-new-kl-gangster-underworld-movie\/\",\"name\":\"iflix to Launch New KL Gangster Underworld Movie - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-08-26T14:07:29+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-08-26T14:07:29+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/iflix-to-launch-new-kl-gangster-underworld-movie\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/iflix-to-launch-new-kl-gangster-underworld-movie\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/iflix-to-launch-new-kl-gangster-underworld-movie\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"iflix to Launch New KL Gangster Underworld Movie\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
