Streaming giant PCCW Media is making waves with its exciting new collaboration with SK Global Entertainment, the creative force behind the blockbuster film *Crazy Rich Asians*. Their upcoming six-part drama series, titled *The Season*, is set against the vibrant backdrop of Hong Kong.

So, what can viewers expect? Imagine a wealthy circle of friends indulging in the opulence of boating season. But beneath the glossy surface lies a web of deceit, power struggles, and life-changing repercussions. *The Season* promises to delve into the cracks of their seemingly perfect lives, reminiscent of the hit series *The White Lotus*, but with an intriguing Hong Kong twist that adds an extra layer of depth and flavor.

The cast for *The Season* is nothing short of stellar. Leading the ensemble is Jessie Mei Li, known for her role in *Shadow and Bone*, alongside a talented lineup that includes Karena Lam, Justin Chien from *The Brothers Sun*, and Yvonne Chapman, who appeared in *Avatar: The Last Airbender*. Adding to the star-studded roster are Celina Jade from *Wolf Warrior 2* and Toby Stephens, known from *Percy Jackson And The Olympians*. The production also features a rich mix of local talent, including Kōki and Lee Jae-yoon, making this project a truly international venture.

At the helm of this ambitious project is Yalun Tu, previously recognized for his work on *NCIS: Hawaii* and *Wu Assassins*, while Marialy Rivas, director of *The Jetty*, will be guiding the creative vision. Janice Lee, CEO of Viu, emphasizes their goal of crafting a narrative that resonates globally, showcasing the unique culture of Hong Kong along with its iconic locations.

In terms of production, Aaron Shershow is on board as a producer, while Agatha Lo serves as the executive producer for PCCW Media, with support from Chloe Dan, Matt Aragachi, and Dylan Tarason from SK Global. This collaboration represents a significant endeavor for Viu, PCCW Media’s streaming service, which will distribute *The Season* across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South Africa, amplifying its reach and influence.

With the high-caliber cast, a compelling premise akin to *The White Lotus*, and the strategic backing of SK Global, *The Season* has all the makings of a hit series. The anticipation is palpable—can this new drama live up to the expectations and deliver an authentic Hong Kong experience while captivating a worldwide audience? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: viewers won't want to miss this thrilling ride!
