Granada International Acquires First Series Of 'The May Lee Show'

Leading international distributor, Granada International, has acquired the first series of the brand new weekly Asian talk show, ‘The May Lee Show’.
The 13 x one-hour series is currently in production and debuted recently throughout Asia on STAR World. 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.
The eponymous May Lee, who created and hosts 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.
May Lee said: “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.”
The May Lee Show is co-executive produced by Glenn van Zutphen and produced by Lotus Media House.
Granada International has pan Asian rights to the series after it premieres on STAR World.
James Ross, Regional Director at Granada International, added: “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.”
Nadine Nohr commented: “The May Lee Show is a further example of us increasing our worldwide reach at Granada International. We have recently announced distribution and co-production deals with 7 Apache Films in France and Shaftesbury Films in Canada which give us rights to distribute their internationally produced programming globally.”
