Written by Nazri Vovinski Annuar and produced by Datuk Yusof Haslam and Syamin Yusof, the six-part drama is scheduled to premiere in mid-2018 exclusively on iflix\u2019s platform globally.<\/p>\n<p>The story begins soon after the events in <em>KL Gangster 1<\/em>, with feuding gangs in disarray, their ringleaders either behind bars or dead. The series will be shot entirely in Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p>iflix&#8217;s global director of original programming, Mark Francis, said: \u201cWe are incredibly excited to partner with Malaysia\u2019s leading independent studio, Skop, creator of so many of the country\u2019s biggest box-office hits. It is our aim to offer iflix viewers a new breed of local drama whilst pushing creative boundaries through our originals. The <em>KL Gangster<\/em> films set up the perfect foundation for the series to launch from, with fresh twists and surprises for both fans and newcomers alike&#8230;expect to see edgier, grittier action sequences, more realistic true-crime themes such as human trafficking, and of course, more larger-than-life characters!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Skop Productions&#8217; group chairman and CEO, Datuk Yusof Haslam, added: \u201cWe are proud to have this opportunity to collaborate with iflix in creating quality local content such as <em>KL Gangster: Underworld<\/em>, iflix\u2019s first drama series in Malaysia. This collaboration is a much-needed catalyst in exploring new avenues for the Malaysian film industry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iflix is gearing up to launch its first-ever original drama series in Malaysia, KL Gangster: Underworld.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1636],"class_list":["post-8705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-iflix","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
