PCCW Media’s MakerVille, in
collaboration with renowned Korean production company SimStory and Japan’s Fuji
Television, have jointly created the buzzworthy Asian drama kiDnap GAME, which is set
to air in the fourth quarter of this year.
This suspenseful, dramatic and tension-filled international co-production has been three
years in the making and was filmed across multiple locations in Asia, including Hong Kong,
Taipei, Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, Manila and Okinawa. The series will air on
ViuTV in Hong Kong in Q4 2026, and will also be available on Viu across Southeast Asia,
the Middle East and South Africa. The story unfolds across seven Asian cities, where seven shocking kidnapping cases occur simultaneously. As global media descends into frenzy, a chilling email quietly lands in the inboxes of the victims’ families: "How far are you willing to go to save your loved one? Only one can be saved."
