Nippon TV Preps Global Original for Netflix

Nippon TV and Netflix have entered their first-ever live-action partnership with the global original From NEET to Peak, launching on the streaming giant in January.

The romantic comedy, which stars Wataru Ichinose and Suzu Hirose, is directed by Yu Irie from a screenplay written by Shigeki Kaneko, creator of Life’s Punchline.

Shinji Enari, head of studio strategy, said, “For Nippon TV, From NEET to Peak marks the beginning of a new chapter in bringing our content to global audiences. Building on the storytelling and production expertise we have cultivated through years of drama creation, we are excited to share our works with more viewers around the world than ever before. Through this journey, we will continue to evolve and grow as a creative group, delivering compelling stories that resonate across borders.”
