K29 Studios, a Sydney based production house known for its innovative approach to niche concepts and experimental formats, is thrilled to announce its latest venture: a vertical drama series commissioned by Vigloo, the leading Korean mobile streaming platform. The collaboration marks a significant step for both companies in meeting the surging demand for mobile first content.
The series, titled “Runaway Prince’s Secret Vacation,” is a racy, romantic comedy, tailor-made for today’s digital audiences on platforms like TikTok and other mobile streaming services. It tells the story of a Danish prince who fakes amnesia to escape his arranged marriage, only to accidentally fall in love with a cool, laid-back surfing professional in Sydney. The twist? She’s gearing up for a major surfing competition, and his secret identity threatens to upend everything. The series is packed with drama, comedy, and romance (obviously), guaranteed to make viewers laugh, cry, cringe, and fall in love.
Kaytee Elliott, the Executive Producer at K29 Studios, also served as the writer and director for the project. “Working with Vigloo has been such a smooth and fun experience,” said Elliott. “We’re keen on pushing envelopes and buttons (and undoing them!), and the vertical format allows for a level of intimacy and immersion that’s perfect for a rom-com. I’m excited to bring this fun story to life for my mobile first drama lovers.”
“Runaway Prince’s Secret Vacation” is 49 episodes long, each between 60-120 seconds per episode. The series wrapped principal photography on August 17 and is set to premiere in late September, only on Vigloo.
As the industry pivots to capture the attention of mobile users, K29 Studios is actively developing more ideas for the vertical format. With millions of views per series on these platforms, the demand for this content is at an all-time high. K29 is committed to continuing its collaboration with mobile streaming platforms to deliver high-quality, engaging content that redefines how stories are told and consumed.
