Users of Tving and Wavve will soon be able to watch more of the two services' original content on both streaming platforms as the companies begin to share their series under an expanded partnership.

The two companies started sharing each other's content on Monday and will expand this to a greater number of titles starting the following Monday, Tving announced on Tuesday.

Tving released the variety show “Girl’s High School Mystery Class” (2021–) on Wavve on Monday and will do the same with the drama “Dongjae, the Good or the Bastard” (2024), the spinoff of the tvN drama “Stranger” (2017-20), starting next Monday.

Tving and cable television network tvN are both owned by CJ ENM.

Wavve will also release three seasons of its survival show “Game of Blood” (2021-25) on Tving. Wavve has already done so with the survival series “The Community” (2024–), which won at the 2024 Blue Dragon Series Awards.

“We have already decided which shows will be released in the first few weeks,” a Tving representative said during a phone call with the Korea JoongAng Daily. “There is no date on when this partnership ends. [...] After the first few weeks, the number of shows to be released may change.”

The collaboration between the two streaming platforms follows the announcement in December 2023 that they would merge, but that merger has yet to materialize, with no official date announced as of Tuesday.

Tving and Wavve also plan to continue broadening their partnership by regularly updating each other’s original content across categories, including dramas, variety shows and documentaries.

“Sharing popular titles from each platform will strengthen the partnership and help boost Korea’s streaming service industry,” the Tving representative said.
