-  104 Million Views: Surpassing Major Global Hits Including Bridgerton S4

CJ ENM’s global studio FIFTH SEASON announced today that its hit series <His & Hers> has secured the #1 spot in global views for the first half of 2026, according to Netflix’s latest “What We Watched” report. The series recorded 104 million views, surpassing major titles including <Bridgerton> Season 4 and <I Will Find You>.

<His & Hers> is a gripping psychological thriller helmed by executive producer and star Tessa Thompson, alongside co-star Jon Bernthal. Based on Alice Feeney’s acclaimed novel, the series is crafted by a powerhouse creative team, including writers William Oldroyd, Dee Johnson, and Bill Dubuque.

Set against the stifling atmosphere of Atlanta, the story follows Anna (Thompson), a former news anchor whose life has withered into isolation. Her fragile reclusivity is shattered when a brutal murder occurs in Dahlonega, her quiet hometown. Driven by a desperate need for the truth, Anna is pulled back into the fray, only to find herself entangled in a high-stakes investigation led by Detective Jack Harper (Bernthal). As Harper scrutinizes Anna’s every move, the two are caught in a volatile dance of suspicion and discovery. In a case where the truth is fractured between his perspective and hers, the series poses an unsettling question: how far would you go when you know that, inevitably, someone is lying?

“This milestone underscores FIFTH SEASON’s commitment to delivering premium, high-stakes storytelling that resonates with global audiences,” said a representative for CJ ENM. “We remain dedicated to collaborating with world-class talent and platforms to push the boundaries of creative production.”

Building on this momentum, FIFTH SEASON has also greenlit a robust slate of new projects, including the feature films <Hello & Paris> and <A Head Full of Ghosts>, alongside several new drama series. With these latest additions to its production pipeline, the studio continues to accelerate its efforts in delivering premium, high-quality content to global audiences.

- Features a 6-title lineup of Thai remakes based on mega-hit Korean IPs, including <Good Doctor> and <Dear My Secretary>

- All episodes to be available starting July 2 via Amazon MX Player India

- Expanding presence in India with a versatile genre lineup from romance to thriller and sci-fi

CJ ENM is growing its global content footprint and strengthening its presence in key local markets.

CJ ENM Hong Kong has announced that all episodes of six Thai drama series produced by its local joint venture, True CJ Creations, will be available in India starting July 2 on Amazon MX Player, a free, ad-supported streaming (AVOD) platform. The lineup features highly competitive content enriched with unique Thai perspectives, such as <Good Doctor> and <Dear My Secretary>, as well as <23:23>(based on ‘Signal’), <Start-Up>, <Happiness>, and <Thank You Teacher>(based on ‘Black Dog’).

The six Thai series supplied to Amazon MX Player will feature Hindi dubbing and English subtitles, taking into account the diverse viewing conditions and cultural characteristics of the Indian market.

This milestone follows last year’s successful distribution of 18 K-content titles, further strengthening the partnership between the two companies and driving the global reach of Korean IPs. Featuring a diverse lineup of romance, thriller, and sci-fi, this deal moves past a conventional licensing agreement to demonstrate how effectively Korean formats can be adapted and how Thai productions can successfully appeal to international audiences.

"With the global demand for Asian entertainment consistently growing, we have pursued diverse content strategies, such as strategic alliances and localizing formats," said a representative from CJ ENM Hong Kong. "We will continue to focus on unlocking new global market opportunities by combining highly successful Korean formats with outstanding Southeast Asian storytelling."
