Battered in its home market in Hong Kong, the once dominant free-to-air TV broadcaster Television Broadcasts (Tvb) is eyeing further expansion of its international Ott platform through the co-production of drama series. It also wants a piece of the Asian e-commerce market.

In an interview promoting the film last year, writer/director Tim Van Dammen described Mega Time Squad as “an absurd time travel crime comedy with a big heart about a loveable rural idiot with modest aspirations who uses a time travel bracelet to steal the money needed to fulfill his dream of moving to the neighbouring town… but he fucks up the time travelling bit.”
