Astro has already delivered outstanding local versions of Fremantle formats, including<em> Family Feud<\/em> in Malay, Mandarin, Tamil and English, and we\u2019re confident this new adaptation will resonate just as powerfully.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raja Jastina Raja Arshad, executive producer and head of Astro Shaw, commented, \u201cPartnering with Fremantle on Astro Originals\u2019 <em>Bad Cop<\/em> has been an incredible opportunity for Astro Shaw to merge global expertise with our local creative spirit. Together, we\u2019ve reimagined a hit format through a distinctly Malaysian lens, creating a story that feels authentic and fresh. What makes this project even more meaningful is the involvement of our in-house showrunner and a team of passionate young talents who poured their heart and energy into every detail. We\u2019re genuinely thrilled to share this adaptation as a bold step forward in our commitment to innovation, storytelling excellence and collaborations that elevate Malaysian content to the world stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Bad Cop<\/em> follows Emir Khalid, a small-time criminal hunted by the ruthless drug lord Tony Redza.
