Nippon TV Unveils New Scripted Format

Nippon TV is launching at ATF Online+ the new scripted format A Girl of 35, from the creators of the hit drama series I’m Mita, Your Housekeeper.

A Girl of 35 follows a woman who, at 10 years old, has a freak accident and is left in an unconscious state. Now in 2020, after 25 long years, she miraculously awakes with a 35-year-old-body but the mind of a 10-year-old. Trying to fill every void, she rushes to accumulate over two decades’ worth of experiences and matures as she goes through pains and heartbreaks.

Sayako Aoki, manager of international business development at Nippon TV, said: “We quickly realized that ATF was the perfect occasion in which to launch A Girl of 35, as our scripted formats have had much success in the Asian region. For example, our series Mother was very well adapted and received in China, South Korea and Thailand, and the adaptation of our format Abandoned won the Maya prize in Thailand. A Girl of 35 has a strong message of hope and realization of not taking everything in life for granted. It is certain to resonate now with audiences in Asia, as well as around the world, as viewers can sympathize with the story of this family while reflecting how we got to where we are right now.”
