Star Chinese Channel’s To Be a Better Man

Fox Networks Group Asia (FNG) has signed a deal with Linmon Pictures to deliver new Chinese romantic drama series To Be a Better Man to international viewers.

FNG has acquired the rights to exclusively broadcast and distribute the series to third-party channels in all markets outside mainland China.

To Be a Better Man will air on Star Chinese Channel, Asia’s leading Chinese general entertainment channel, which will broadcast episodes on the same day as in China.

The 42-part series premieres on May 31 on SCC internationally, with a simulcast in China from exclusive partners Zhejiang TV, Jiangsu TV and LeEco.

The show follows the story of a tough Chinese chef working at a three-star Michelin restaurant in the US. After a car accident takes away his friend, he returns to mainland China with his remains.
