Director Lee Joon-ik's 'Yonder' to Premiere Globally on Paramount Plus

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Director Lee Joon-ik's 'Yonder' will be supplied to global viewers through Paramount Plus.

On the 16th, the online video service (OTT) TVING announced that it has decided to co-invest in the new original series 'Yonder' with ViacomCBS.

'Yonder' will be produced as a TVING and Paramount Plus original series and will be released in Latin America, Canada, Australia where Paramount Plus is already available, as well as in the UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria where the service is scheduled to launch in the summer.

Last December, CJ ENM signed a comprehensive partnership with the major US media group ViacomCBS and decided to cooperate in various ways to strengthen the competitiveness of OTT TVING. ViacomCBS plans to co-invest in a total of seven TVING original productions starting with 'Yonder.'

A TVING official stated, "Starting with cooperation with ViacomCBS, we will build a global-scale original content investment infrastructure to become the best K-content platform," adding, "We plan to launch the 'Paramount Plus Brand Zone' in the first half of the year to introduce ViacomCBS's popular content to domestic users."

Director Lee Joon-ik's first OTT debut work 'Yonder' depicts the story of a man who receives a message from his wife and is invited to an unknown space where he can meet her. In 2032, an unknown space called Yonder is introduced, designed to allow deceased people to live with their memories through brain uploads. Actors Shin Ha-kyun and Han Ji-min star in the series.
