Vietnamese Thriller ‘Sister Sister’ Lands on Apple TV Worldwide
Vietnam-based sales agent Skyline Media is set to release the psychological thriller “Sister Sister” on Apple TV across 36 international territories on March 8, in celebration of International Women’s Day. This marks the widest release of a Vietnamese title on the platform in a decade.
The film will be available in various markets across North America, Europe, and Oceania. In the Americas, viewers in countries such as the U.S., Canada, and Trinidad and Tobago can enjoy the movie. European audiences in countries like Belgium, Greece, and the U.K. will also have access to the film. Additionally, viewers in Australia, Fiji, and Micronesia in Oceania will be able to watch “Sister Sister” on Apple TV.
This release is just the beginning of a larger partnership between Skyline Media and Apple TV, with more Vietnamese titles expected to follow. Skyline Media has a track record of placing Vietnamese content on major global platforms, having secured deals for Vietnamese films on Netflix in Vietnam, across Asia, and in worldwide markets.
Directed by Vietnamese-American filmmaker Kathy Uyen, “Sister Sister” features a talented cast including supermodel-actress Thanh Hang, Vietnamese pop icon Chi Pu, and actor Lanh Thanh. The story follows a celebrity radio presenter who takes in a woman she saves from a violent attack, leading to a gripping tale of psychological control and shifting allegiances between the two.
Produced by Muse Films, “Sister Sister” was the second highest-grossing Vietnamese thriller in 2019, earning $2.7 million at the Vietnamese box office. The film also received recognition at the Busan International Film Festival and the Osaka Asian Film Festival. A sequel released in 2023 further solidified the franchise’s success, earning over $4.6 million domestically.
Skyline Media represents a diverse range of Vietnamese and Southeast Asian titles, distributing content to over 50 countries through more than 130 partnerships worldwide. With the release of “Sister Sister” on Apple TV, Vietnamese cinema continues to make its mark on the global stage.
