Taiwanese production house, Screenworks Asia, unveiled two original series in Taipei this morning as the Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF) kicked off.

Both of the new series, part of Taiwan’s growing creative footprint, will stream on homegrown streamer Catchplay+ as well on mainland Chinese platform iQiyi in the first quarter of next year.

The first series, crime suspense drama "Not A Murder Story", is scheduled for January, with a slot on Taiwan’s GTV Channel as well as on Catchplay Movies Channel. 

Directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Chen-Nien Ko, "Not A Murder Story" stars Kuan-Ting Liu ("A Sun"), Sonia Sui ("Woman Who Flirt") and Gingle Wang ("Wave Makers") in the story of a wannabe actor determined not to let a dead woman stand in the way of his success. 

The series, Ko’s first after her award-winning "Close Your Eyes Before Its Dark" and "The Silent Forest", also involves MakerVille, the Taipei Film Commission, Eightgeman, and Keepin Joy Tech. 

Yuqian Li, iQiyi’s Taiwan GM, said the platform was committed to investing more in Taiwanese drama, “supporting the creativity and originality from Taiwan to shine”. 

iQiyi and Catchplay previously collaborated on "The Making of an Ordinary Woman II". 

No date has been set for the second series, "I Can See You Shine", which stars Regina Lei ("Port of Lies"), Huai-Yun Zhan ("Wave Makers") and Andy Huang ("Gaga").
