CONNECTED is an innovative crime drama series co-created by NIPPON TV and Envision Entertainment (UK), perfect for today’s world defined by hybrid communication.

It combines both online screens and conventional single camera set-ups, with the story unfolding in a shared universe where characters from all over the world are ‘connected’ to each other online, using their superior research skills to solve crimes. These international sleuths form an exclusive online community and are known as Homebound Detectives, working primarily from their homes also with their own problems, stories and mysteries to tackle. This series has been specifically designed to expand to a number of localized versions, featuring diverse characters from different countries, while all belonging to the same shared online universe.

The Japanese version of CONNECTED (“CONNECTED: The Homebound Detective”) broadcast in Japan on Nippon TV in April 2022, featuring a twenty-something year old protagonist in Tokyo struggling to solve a crime with the help of his international online peers. In the process of probing research, the group uncovers a much larger mystery, which provides a launchpad for future productions around the world.

Envision Entertainment and Nippon TV are simultaneously in advanced development for a UK version of CONNECTED which is set in the same shared universe.
