Top Of The Lake: China Girl available via BBC Player

KUALA LUMPUR: After being awarded with ‘Outstanding Miniseries or Movie’ at the 2013 Primetime Emmy Awards, BBC’s critically acclaimed Top of the Lake is back with its second instalment and is now available exclusively on its multistreaming, Video- On-Demand ( SVOD) app, the BBC Player.

Directed by award-winning Jane Campion, Top of the Lake: China Girl is a thrilling sequel to its fi rst instalment, starring industry heavyweights Nicole Kidman, Elisabeth Moss ( Mad Men), Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones) and more.

“We are really excited to announce that Top of The Lake: China Girl will be available to the Malaysian public via the BBC Player right after the UK release,” said BBC Worldwide Asia director of communications Jeanne Leong at the exclusive media screening last week at TGV One Utama.

“Crime mystery fans will not want to miss the intensity that Jane Campion recognisably injects into Top of the Lake: China Girl. We also hope fans of the first series will be equally enthralled by the show’s second instalment, as the story spins around themes of misogyny, motherhood and murder,” Leong adds.

In a press statement from BBC Worldwide Asia, Top of the Lake: China Girl is a crime mystery story that finds Detective Robin Griffin played by Elisabeth Moss who has won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in Top of the Lake (Series 1). The six- episode mini-series is now exclusively available via the multi-genre SVOD (Subscription Video On Demand) BBC Player, courtesy of BBC Worldwide and TM’s IPTV service provider - HyppTV.

Meanwhile, the BBC Player was launched in Malaysia in March 2017 and is made available exclusively to subscribers of TM’s HyppTV Jumbo Pack with a Unifi broadband service.
