Warner Bros Discovery has announced three Thai HBO Asia Originals. Khun Pan 3, action-fantasy Ananda-led blockbuster of the year, MarkKim + Chef, a fun-filled cooking series, and reality series Deane’s Dynasty will be exclusive titles on HBO and HBO Go in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
However, no release dates have yet to be confirmed. Here are their synopses to whet your streaming appetite.
In this third and final instalment of the Khun Pan franchise, Khun Pan 3 is set in 1950 after World War ll. The eponymous sorcerer cop Khun Pan, played by Ananda Everingham, is persuaded to take on another dangerous mission, to hunt down bandits as he uncovers a conspiracy that challenges everything he believes in. Khun Pan 3 is directed and written by Kongkiat Komesiri and produced by Sahamongkolfilm International. Also starring Mario Maurer, Phakin Khamwilaisak, Sarika Sathsilpsupa, Bhumibhat Thavornsiri, Chidjun Hung, Phillip Thinroj, and Chalad Na Songkhla. Ahead of its HBO Go premiere, fans can stream Khun Pan 1 and 2.
MarkKim + Chef follows soon-to-be married Thai superstars, Kimberley "Anne" Woltemas and Prin "Mark" Suparat as they take on yet another commitment to learn to cook for each other like professional chefs across 10 fun-filled episodes. But this is no picnic as Mark and Kim cannot cook and they will be learning from some of Thailand’s most prominent celebrity chefs. Produced by IFA Media. Sound sugary and savoury.
Reality series Deane’s Dynasty follows Thai celebrity power couple Lydia and Matthew Deane as they attempt to navigate the dramas of fame and family. Given the fun chemistry that the couple has shown on their social media and YouTube channel, I wonder whether the series offers something different from what we already have seen. Produced by 247 Pictures.
