MUMBAI:
International distributor Granada International has acquired
the first series of the weekly Asian talk show The May
Lee Show.
The 13 one-hour series is currently in production. The series
aims to address Asian women’s concerns and fuel their
interests on a broad range of subjects including relationships,
body image, family and sex.
May
Lee, who is creator and host of the show, is a Korean American
and former correspondent and anchor for CNN and CNBC. She
previously worked at Oprah Winfrey’s Oxygen channel where
she hosted the two-hour talk show Pure Oxygen.
Featuring
many A-list guests from around the region and beyond, The
May Lee Show blends conversation with 'how to' demonstrations
and features.
Lee
says, "Our show is produced in Asia, by Asians, especially
for the new woman of Asia. We intend to confront the long-standing
stereotypical views of what might interest us and show Asian
viewers that we aren’t afraid to talk about issues that
have traditionally been left behind closed doors. The women
of Asia also aren’t afraid to have fun so expect to be
fully entertained."
Granada
International has the pan Asian rights to the series after
it premieres on Star World.
Granada
International regional director James Ross says, "The
May Lee Show does something that hasn’t been seen
before in Asia – it caters for Asian women who juggle
their careers and their family. We are sure that this series
will appeal to broadcasters throughout the region."
