Warner Bros Discovery (WBD), Taiwan Mobile and Taiwan’s government-backed agency Taiwan Creative Content Agency (Taicca) gathered in Taipei for a photo-op with a vague multi-year MoU that commits “to bring made-in-Taiwan content to the international stage”.

The parties are not speaking publicly about funding any of the new content promised in the MoU, and no details have been disclosed of what’s involved in the latest effort to “develop, produce and distribute local IP and content for both local and global audiences”.

Today’s announcement comes ahead of the opening of Taicca’s Taiwan Creative Content Festival (TCCF) in Taipei next week.

Taiwan has long been a source of premium content for HBO, including premium series “Teenage Psychic” (2017) and “World Between Us” (2019) – all of which were distributed around the world.

Taiwan Mobile has invested in over 40 productions, including “Tears on Fire” (2021) and 2020 drama “The Victims' Game”, both for Netflix, and “Magician on the Skywalk” (2021) for its own MyVideo platform.

WBD and Taiwan Mobile previously co-produced 2020 series, “Workers”, which won four Golden Bell Awards in 2021.

Discovery factual/doc titles include “Beating COVID 19”, “Master Class” and the “Taiwan Revealed” series, which have aired on various networks in Southeast Asia.
