Not enough drama in your life? Missing The White Lotus? Exhausted from re-re-re-rewatching Crazy Rich Asians? You can pick yourself up from the floor now, as this summer, PCCW will be launching The Season, a sizzling new series set to keep us indoors for a binge-filled weekend.
From what we’ve been hearing: imagine the sun-drenched, opulent backdrops of The White Lotus clashing with the high-stakes glitz and glamour of Crazy Rich Asians, all infused with a distinctly Hong Kong flavour. This six-episode powerhouse plunges viewers deep into the city’s elite yachting scene, where a seemingly perfect summer getaway for a circle of friends quickly spirals into a maelstrom of betrayal, hidden agendas, and ruthless power plays.
The buzz is real, and for good reason. The Season boasts a truly electrifying cast. Jessie Mei Li, fresh from Shadow and Bone, leads the charge alongside three-time Golden Horse winner Karena Lam, Crazy Rich Asians alum Chris Pang, and The Brothers Sun’s Justin Chien. Yvonne Chapman (Avatar: The Last Airbender), Celina Jade, and Toby Stephens also join the star-studded ensemble, ensuring every scene crackles with intensity. Adding another layer of excitement, special appearances from Mirror’s Anson Lo and Collar’s Marf Yau are guaranteed to send ripples through their massive fanbases.
Mark your calendars: The Season is docking soon on Hulu and ViuTV. Prepare for a summer where Hong Kong‘s most glamorous secrets are about to hit the airwaves. Stunning cast aside, the show offers a deep dive into the intoxicating and dangerous world where privilege meets peril—what more do you want?
