Warner Bros. Discovery and CJ ENM , the Korean conglomerate behind Oscar-winner Parasite , have struck a major partnership deal.

The two companies will co-produce original Korean drama series to air on HBO Max as well as making the streaming service the home of CJ’s TVING in a number of markets across Asia-Pacific.

The multi-year partnership will see hundreds of hours of K-drama launch on HBO Max across 17 markets including Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Beginning in 2026, TVING’s new K-drama titles, as well as library titles, will stream on HBO Max.

It will begin the rollout with the launch of drama series Dear X on November 6.

The deal comes four years after CJ ENM announced a similar pact with the-then-titled ViacomCBS to co-produce shows as well as launch Paramount+
