More than half of the world’s new TV dramas now hail from China, market research firm Ampere Analysis said Tuesday in a new report on global content production over the past six months.
In the last half year, top Chinese broadcasters and Ott platforms have commissioned almost 300 new drama series – as many as those from all other countries combined, Ampere’s report said.
