The series recounts Adelstein\u2019s real-life, first-hand account of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police beat, with Ansel Elgort starring as the journalist as he embeds himself into the police squad to reveal corruption.<\/p>\n<p>Starring alongside Elgort is Ken Watanabe as a Tokyo police detective, as well as Rinko Kikuchi, Rachel Keller and Ella Rumpf. Michael Mann is directing the <em>Tokyo Vice<\/em> pilot and serves as executive producer with J.T. Rogers, Emily Gerson Saines, Alan Poul, Jake Adelstein, Elgort, Destin Daniel Cretton, Watanabe, Brad Caleb Kane, Kayo Washio and John Lesher. J.T. Rogers created and wrote the series.<\/p>\n<p>The series will stream exclusively on HBO Max in the U.S. The show began filming in Tokyo at the beginning of the year but went on a production hiatus due to the coronavirus. It resumes production this week.<\/p>\n<p>Kayo Washio, WOWOW\u2019s head of its Los Angeles office, said: \u201c<em>Tokyo Vice<\/em> is a true passion project for me as I\u2019ve had my eyes on the material for quite some time and trusted business relationships with some of the key players involved for an even longer period of time. It is the type of story that deserves and necessitates the pedigree of creative talent assembled to bring it to life. WOWOW is proud to be involved in a series that hits close to home for us, literally and figuratively, and has such a gifted team bringing it all together. Ultimately, we believe this will be an event series that audiences in Japan and throughout the world will be hooked into.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prentiss Fraser, executive VP of international TV sales at Endeavor Content, added: \u201cIt\u2019s an honor to collaborate with Wowow on <em>Tokyo Vice<\/em>. Ensuring authenticity and being true to Japanese culture and society were top priorities for our team. To have a local partnership to ensure this vision is truly valuable and we look forward to creating many seasons together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WOWOW has closed an all-rights distribution deal in Japan for the new series Tokyo Vice, which the company is co-producing with Endeavor Content and HBO Max.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":14124,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[2191,3213,4196,708],"class_list":["post-14123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-endeavor-content","tag-hbo-max","tag-tokyo-vice","tag-wowow","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>WOWOW Boards Tokyo Vice - 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\/wowow-boards-tokyo-vice\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"WOWOW Boards Tokyo Vice - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"WOWOW has closed an all-rights distribution deal in Japan for the new series Tokyo Vice, which the company is co-producing with Endeavor Content and HBO Max.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wowow-boards-tokyo-vice\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-11-24T15:45:53+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-11-24T16:18:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/wowow-1120.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"250\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\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=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wowow-boards-tokyo-vice\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wowow-boards-tokyo-vice\/\",\"name\":\"WOWOW Boards Tokyo Vice - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-11-24T15:45:53+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-11-24T16:18:50+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wowow-boards-tokyo-vice\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wowow-boards-tokyo-vice\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wowow-boards-tokyo-vice\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"WOWOW Boards Tokyo Vice\"}]},{\"@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.
