Vietnamese thriller ‘Sister Sister’ appears worldwide on Apple TV
Vietnam-based sales agent Skyline Media is bringing the psychological thriller “Sister Sister” to Apple TV in 36 international territories starting March 8, coinciding with International Women’s Day. This move represents the widest release of a Vietnamese title on the platform in around a decade.
The rollout includes markets in North America, Europe and Oceania. In the Americas, the film will be available in the US, Canada, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Belize, Bermuda, Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis, and Trinidad and Tobago. European markets include Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Grenada, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden and the United Kingdom. In Oceania, the title will reach Australia, Fiji and Micronesia – with Australia being the only territory where the title has previously been available on the platform.
The launch also marks the start of a broader agreement between Skyline Media and Apple TV, with more titles from the company’s catalog expected to follow. It extends Skyline’s track record of placing Vietnamese content on major global platforms, having previously signed deals for Vietnamese films on Netflix in Vietnam, across Asia and in global markets.
Directed by Vietnamese-American filmmaker Kathy Uyen, her feature film debut stars supermodel-actress Thanh Hang (Go-Go Sisters), Vietnamese pop icon Chi Pu (Muoi: The Curse Returns) and actor Lanh Thanh (Goodbye Mother). The story revolves around a famous radio host who protects a woman she saves from a violent attack, only to find herself embroiled in a tense battle for psychological control and shifting loyalties between the two.
Produced by Muse Films, the title ranked as the second highest-grossing Vietnamese thriller of 2019, grossing $2.7 million at the Vietnamese box office. The film was shown at the 25th Busan International Film Festival and won the ABC TV Award at the 2021 Osaka Asian Film Festival. A sequel released in 2023 earned over $4.6 million domestically, expanding the property into a franchise.
Skyline Media represents more than 150 Vietnamese and Southeast Asian titles and distributes content in more than 50 countries through more than 130 partnerships worldwide.
