A single subscription now unlocks two streaming platforms, giving audiences access to an even wider selection of Asian dramas, movies, variety shows, and microdramas.

Asian entertainment fans in Indonesia have something new to look forward to. Viu and iQIYI International have officially launched a joint subscription package in Indonesia, making it easier for viewers to explore a broader range of content from across Asia with just one purchase.

Announced on October 16, 2026, the collaboration brings together two popular streaming services under one subscription offering, giving audiences more ways to enjoy their favorite Korean dramas, Chinese series, local productions, films, and entertainment programs.

The launch in Indonesia is part of a wider rollout across four Southeast Asian markets: Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia. It also builds on the partnership between Viu and iQIYI International, first announced at APOS 2026.

For viewers who love discovering new stories from different countries, the partnership offers a convenient way to explore more entertainment without having to purchase separate subscriptions for each service.

One Purchase, Two Streaming Platforms

The new joint subscription package is designed to simplify access to Asian entertainment while bringing together the distinctive content libraries of Viu and iQIYI International.

Customers can purchase the package through either platform’s website. However, subscribers will continue to use separate accounts for Viu and iQIYI International and watch content through each service individually.

The combined offering covers a wide variety of genres and formats, from romantic comedies and historical dramas to crime thrillers, supernatural horror, reality entertainment, and short-form microdramas.

This means viewers can move between different storytelling styles and cultural perspectives, discovering everything from the latest Korean releases to Chinese costume dramas and original productions from Southeast Asia.

For audiences who regularly follow multiple Asian entertainment industries, the partnership could make it easier to keep up with a wider range of shows through a single subscription purchase.

What to Watch on Viu

Viu continues to offer a diverse lineup of Viu Originals, Korean dramas, variety shows, and other Asian entertainment, with several titles scheduled to arrive in October.

Among the upcoming highlights is the Korean Viu Original Oh! My Guard, arriving on October 24. Fans of legal dramas can also look forward to the sequel Good Partner 2, while One of a Kind Romance promises a mix of romantic comedy and thriller elements.

Viu’s regional offerings also include a variety of productions from Southeast Asia.

The recently launched thriller kidNap GAME adds suspense to the platform’s lineup, while Malaysian drama Nowhere To Hide is scheduled to premiere on October 22, blending mystery, crime, and romance. Thai horror-thriller The Rules will follow on October 28.

For viewers who prefer shorter episodes and fast-paced storytelling, Viu is also bringing audiences its original microdrama High School Assassins.

The entertainment lineup extends beyond scripted series. Variety show fans can explore Love in the Moonlight: Redrawn, Whenever Possible Season 5, and Sixth Sense: B-Side.

With romance, mystery, crime, horror, and supernatural thrillers all represented, Viu offers plenty of options for viewers looking to find their next binge-worthy series.

Discover More Asian Stories on iQIYI International

On the iQIYI International side, subscribers can explore an extensive collection of Chinese dramas and original productions from across the region.

One of the featured titles is Spring of the Blade, a costume drama combining romance and revenge. Other highlights include the Thai original Fool in Love, the Malaysian original Sekali Lagi Bahagia, and the Indonesian iQIYI Original Bercinta Dengan Maut (The Other Sister), which explores a forbidden love story.

Chinese drama enthusiasts will also have new titles to anticipate.

Love in Red Dust combines historical romance with lighthearted comedy and suspense, while Yunchu’s Vengeance explores themes of rebirth and revenge. Meanwhile, When I Meet The Moon follows a romantic journey shaped by personal growth and the transition into adulthood.

Beyond these upcoming releases, subscribers can dive into iQIYI International’s extensive catalog of thousands of series, including popular titles such as Pursuit of Jade, The Best Thing, and Key to the Phoenix Heart.

The platform’s broad collection spans drama series, variety shows, anime, and films, making it a destination for viewers with different tastes in Asian entertainment.

According to the company’s profile, iQIYI International offers more than 1,700 drama series, variety shows, and anime titles, alongside 2,000 films. Its service is available in more than 190 territories, with interfaces and subtitles in 13 languages.

A Wider World of Asian Entertainment

The collaboration reflects the growing appeal of Asian entertainment across Southeast Asia, where audiences increasingly discover stories from neighboring countries as well as established markets such as South Korea and China.

By bringing together Viu’s regional productions and original content with iQIYI International’s extensive Asian catalog, the joint subscription gives viewers more opportunities to explore stories beyond their usual favorites.

The variety of titles also highlights the diversity of Asian storytelling. From the romance and historical settings of Chinese dramas to the thrillers and horror productions coming from Southeast Asia, the combined offering brings different cultures, genres, and perspectives closer to viewers.

For Indonesian audiences, the inclusion of local and regional originals is particularly noteworthy. Productions such as Bercinta Dengan Maut (The Other Sister) demonstrate how Indonesian stories can sit alongside international titles within a broader Asian entertainment collection.

Rather than focusing on a single country or genre, the partnership aims to make a wider selection of content accessible through one purchasing option.

How to Subscribe to the Joint Package

Getting started is straightforward. Customers can purchase the joint subscription through the official websites of Viu or iQIYI International.

Once they have set up their accounts on both platforms, they can access their respective content libraries separately through each service.

Information about account setup, billing, and subscription management is available through the help centers of Viu and iQIYI International.

However, viewers should note that content availability, membership benefits, features, and device compatibility may vary depending on the platform and country.

For the latest details about the package, including its pricing and specific membership benefits, customers should check the official websites before subscribing.

Two Platforms, More Stories to Explore

With Viu and iQIYI International joining forces, Indonesian viewers have another way to discover the best of Asian entertainment through a single subscription purchase.

Whether you’re a fan of Korean romance, Chinese historical epics, Southeast Asian thrillers, reality shows, or bite-sized microdramas, the combined offering brings together a diverse selection of stories for different moods and interests.

As streaming platforms continue to expand their regional partnerships, this collaboration represents another step toward making Asian entertainment more accessible across borders.

For viewers who can never settle on just one series, having two streaming libraries within one subscription package could make choosing what to watch the hardest — and most enjoyable — part of the experience.
