\n\tAmazon Prime Video has acquired the global streaming rights to Islanders<\/em>, an ambitious Taiwanese drama series<\/a> set to premiere worldwide on July 18.<\/p>\n

\n\tCo-helmed by Singaporean filmmaker Ler Jiyuan (Invisible Stories<\/em>) and Taiwanese theater director Tsai Pao-Chang, the eight-part series blends sharp social<\/a> commentary with cinematic flair, according to the producers. Based on the award-winning novel Islands<\/em> by Lolita Hu, the show traces the unraveling of a powerful businessman whose web of romantic relationships is exposed after a dinner party argument goes viral. As his scandal consumes the nation\u2019s attention, his loyal assistant begins to reevaluate her place in a society transformed by social media, shifting cultural norms and emotional alienation.<\/p>\n

\n\tSet against the backdrop of early 2010s Taipei, Islanders<\/em> stars Golden Horse and Golden Bell Award winner Wu Kang-Jen, Southeast Asian icon Christopher Lee, Taipei Film Awards honoree Rima Zeidan, and veteran actress Yu Tzu-Yu. Japanese actor Yusuke Fukuchi also app<\/a>ears in a notable supporting role.<\/p>\n

\n\tShot on location in Taiwan, New York and Alaska, the series has a production scale and cross-cultural scope that\u2019s uncommonly ambitious for a Taiwanese drama.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to its Prime Video debut, Islanders<\/em> will stream in Taiwan on Catchplay+ and Line TV, and in Hong Kong via Now TV. It will also air weekly on the Catchplay Movie Channel.<\/p>\n

\n\tProduced by Screenworks Asia, the production arm of regional streamer Catchplay+, Islanders<\/em> is the second Taiwanese title after The World Between Us: After the Flames<\/em> to secure a global release on Prime Video.<\/p>\n
