Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Multinational streaming groups are using their increasing market strength to raise pricing and profitability in the Asia-Pacific region.

That was one of the starkest messages to emerge from an opening address by Vivek Couto, managing partner at consultancy firm Media Partners Asia, on Wednesday, the first morning of his APOS conference in Indonesia. Global streamers are putting the screw on monetization, he said.

‘Desert King,’ Epic Outback Tale of Power, Money and Loyalty, Starts Shooting for Netflix in Australia

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Filming is now underway in Australia on “Desert King,” a neo-western drama series for Netflix that is positioned to be one of the streamer’s iconic prestige productions in the Asia-Pacific region. The story revolves around money and power in Australia’s harsh Outback regions with filming locations in the remote Northern Territory and near Adelaide, South Australia. When the world’s largest cattle station is left without a clear successor, generational clashes threaten to tear the Lawson family apart. Sensing this once great dynasty is in decline, the outback’s most powerful factions – rival cattle barons, desert gangsters, Indigenous elders and billionaire miners – move in for the kill,” says Netflix by way of a synopsis. While describing the six-part series as “one of the largest local screen productions filmed in both the [Northern] Territory and South Australia,” and “an extraordinary cast,” the streamer has not disclosed the identities of any cast. Directed by Greg McLean (“La Brea,” “Wolf Creek”), the show is a joint production between Easy Tiger and Ronde.
