Currently in production, the first season will consist of 26 11-minute episodes.<\/p>\n<p><em>Kisah Bawah Tanah<\/em> follows best friends Sam and Zack as they navigate a world teeming with creatures that have long haunted the imaginations of Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n<p>Komet Productions will also play a key role in expanding the IP\u2019s potential through strategies for licensing, promotions, distribution and merchandising. <em>Kisah Bawah Tanah<\/em> is being planned as a multi-faceted franchise, encompassing video games, a spin-off micro-series, on-ground experiential attractions, direction for the soundtrack and music scoring as well as the development of a feature film.<\/p>\n<p>Komet Productions&#8217; Ahmad Izham Omar said, &#8220;We view <em>Kisah Bawah Tanah<\/em> as a pivotal step in maturing Malaysian animation beyond the children\u2019s market. We&#8217;re blending horror, comedy, and our rich local folklore to create animation that entertains and resonates with audiences worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hendra Wardi, co-creator of <em>Kisah Bawah Tanah<\/em>, added, \u201cKomet&#8217;s creative energy is a perfect match for the madcap humor of <em>Kisah Bawah Tanah<\/em>. With their support, our ambitions have grown, and we&#8217;re confident that this collaboration will propel the series and brand to new heights. Everyone has stories that spooked them as kids, and now it&#8217;s time to share the ones that have resonated through generations here in Southeast Asia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Edmund Chan, managing director of Animasia Studio, said, &#8220;Ahmad Izham is known for being highly selective with his projects, and Komet&#8217;s deep dive into the <em>Kisah Bawah Tanah<\/em> brand is a testament to its potential. We can\u2019t wait to see where this partnership will take us, and we\u2019re ready to revolutionize the landscape of Malaysian animation once again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Animasia Studio and Bawah Tanah have entered a partnership with Komet Productions for the new IP Kisah Bawah Tanah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":28017,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[1265,9794,9795,9796],"class_list":["post-28016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-animasia-studio","tag-bawah-tanah","tag-kisah-bawah-tanah","tag-komet-productions","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
