BBC Acquires Local Sitcom ‘Homebound 3.0’

Local comedy series Homebound 3.0, co-directed by DEGANZ member Hweiling Ow and starring fellow member Michelle Ang, has been picked up by the UK’s BBC for global sales and distribution. Exciting news following season two’s premiere in May 2025!

The series follows the schemes of two thirty-somethings who fake a relationship to appease their demanding Chinese parents.While season one saw the two actually fall in love, season two continues the charade with a fake pregnancy in attempts to obtain an early inheritance from their wealthy overseas relatives.

Currently, season one is streaming on iPlayer in the UK, with season two yet to be released. Lucky for us, both seasons are available to watch on Three Now in Aotearoa.

Congrats Hweiling and the entire Homebound team! It is great to see DEGANZ members’ mahi doing well internationally.
