- Netflix picks up Myx TV’s “The Doll Life” premieres Internationally Today
- This is the second show in just two months that Netflix, the world’s leading video streaming service, decided to carry a show from Myx TV.
Myx TV, the leading English-language Asian American entertainment network, scored another milestone this February. Netflix picked up its show, “The Doll Life”, which premieres on February 28 in Canada, U.K., South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and India.
This is the second show in just two months that Netflix, the world’s leading video streaming service, decided to carry a show from Myx TV. The first one in January is “Eat Your Words” by Thirsty Tiger Television with Valerie Chow and Stephen Goestch as executive producers and Myx TV General Manager Miguel Santos as executive producer for the network.
“The Doll Life” is from the same producers of “Eat Your Words”. Its distributor is Banijay Rights. It premiered in 2015 on Myx TV. Here was how Realscreen.com described it then:
“…Myx TV has ordered the docuseries, ‘The Doll Life’, which delves into the Japanese ‘living doll’ clothing brand Dolldelight.
Produced by Thirsty Tiger Television, the series is a spin-off of the net’s docuseries, ‘I’m Asian American and…’, and follows designer Cyril Lumboy and her ‘House Dolls’ -– women made up into real-life versions of dolls -– as they grow the brand while juggling personal lives.”
“The Doll Life” is thoroughly watchable entertainment where viewers are invited to follow Cyril and her team go through the chaos and drama of putting on fashion shows at Japanese pop culture conventions. This also leads to visual delights on screen.
The Daily Dot wrote: “…(there are) ‘dolly’ models, walking the runway on weekends for the growing U.S. version of Japan’s longstanding street fashion industry. Since the ’90s, the most well-known of these, Lolita, has spread through international anime culture along with dolly and other styles, featuring clothes that combine modern Tokyo fashion with cute vintage aesthetics. Lolita in particular is known for its ultra-feminine dresses, ruffles, bows, and rich fabrics you might find on an antique doll. At conventions around the country, fashion shows highlighting these styles are important ways of getting niche designers in front of their fanbases.”
“We’re very pleased that shows that aired on Myx TV a few years back are finding brand new audiences around the world,” said Myx TV General Manager Miguel Santos. “I’m glad that Netflix continues to see something new and special in the body of work that first aired exclusively on our network.”
“The Doll Life” is the second TV series to be picked up by Netflix from Myx TV, a network owned and operated by ABS-CBN International, a subsidiary of ABS-CBN Corporation which is the largest Filipino media and entertainment network in the world.
