Arjen van Mierlo, Endemol’s CEO of Asian Operations said, “Signing a three-year output agreement with leading licensee Blue Ocean is a fantastic way to mark the format’s launch in Asia.”

Huy Cuong Tran, director at Blue Ocean Communication Advertising Corporation added, “Endemol’s entertainment formats have always proven to be hugely popular in Vietnam and I believe The Kids are All Right has all the ingredients of a hit. We’re proud to partner with VTV3 to as they become the first broadcaster to bring the show to Asia.”
