Bangkok: CreAsia Studio, launched by Deepak Dhar and Banijay Entertainment, has partnered with TrueVisions NOW to bring the hit crime-drama format My Chef in Crime to Thailand. The upcoming eight-part Thai adaptation, developed and produced by CreAsia Studio and My Shot, blends forensic science, food, and mystery in a distinctively Thai setting and will premiere exclusively on TrueVisions NOW in Q4 2026.
Helmed by Thai producer-writer Pornmanus Rattanavich and scriptwriters Nitikarn Pinmuangngarm, Rapeepimol Chaiyasena, and Punnapat Sutthiwong, the series follows a forensic scientist-turned-chef who becomes the prime suspect in his rival’s mysterious death. To clear his name, he teams up with a fearless police investigator, solving crimes through culinary experimentation while crafting irresistible dishes.
“CreAsia Studio continues to drive the next wave of creative expansion across Southeast Asia. With non-scripted originals like Race to Space and scripted formats like My Chef in Crime now set in Thailand, we’re not only building local stories but also shaping a shared regional identity for premium Asian content. Every format we build is designed to spark collaboration and foster exchange across borders, and this marks another step in our journey to make Asia a key player in the global content landscape,” said Deepak Dhar, Founder & Group CEO, Banijay Asia, Endemol Shine India.
Ongard Prapakamol, Head of True Visions & Media Division, TrueVisions Group, stated, “At TrueVisions, we continue to invest in compelling local storytelling. My Chef in Crime is an extraordinary concept that brings together two of Thailand’s biggest passions — food and drama — through an inventive crime narrative. We’re proud to collaborate with CreAsia Studio on this exciting journey.”
“My Chef in Crime is the first scripted format developed and produced by CreAsia, proudly rooted in Southeast Asia. Thailand is brimming with exceptional storytellers and untapped creative brilliance. At CreAsia Studio, we remain committed to creating original formats infused with Asian cultural DNA, designed not only to resonate locally but also to captivate audiences globally,” said Jessica Kam, Executive Vice President & Business Head, CreAsia Studio.
Supported by the Department of Cultural Promotion, Ministry of Culture of Thailand, and THACCA, production for My Chef in Crime will begin in February 2026, with its premiere slated for late 2026 on TrueVisions NOW.
