HALFWORLDS (Dir. Joko Anwar) - Exclusively on SHUDDER UK from 6th April

HBO Asia’s wildly imaginative and visually stunning fantasy thriller comes to SHUDDER, the first time an Indonesian created and English speaking TV series will be available to watch in the UK. Blending the magic and horror of the films of Guillermo Del Toro, with the action and Eastern spiritualism of the greatest of Asian genre cinema, HALFWORLDS is a high velocity, intense viewing experience created and conceptualised by rising genre filmmaking sensation Joko Anwar.

Set in present-day Jakarta, HALFWORLDS Season One lifts the veil on a parallel world of bloodthirsty creatures from Indonesian mythology who have lived amongst humans for centuries. They are known simply as "Demit" and have been carefully concealed by a powerful family of mortals.

As the day of a mysterious supernatural event known as the Gift draws near, Sarah, a street artist, finds herself caught between the worlds of human and Demit. Once the Demit find out who she really is, and what she must do, the delicate balance between the two worlds will be shaken forever.

With art and animation by comic artist Chris Lie (GI Joe) and shot in Batam and Jakarta, HALFWORLDS offers a slick, dark and action-packed journey into the unknown.
