Wavve is expanding the popular IPs of 'Infinite Challenge' and 'Hello, Francesca' into new original content.
Wavve announced it will release 'Infinite Challenge: Hawaii Never Die,' a reimagining of the beloved series 'Infinite Challenge,' and 'Next to You, Francesca,' an original spinoff drama that connects to the world of 'Hello, Francesca,' later this year.
Both projects build on the core settings and emotions of the original works, adding new characters and stories. They aim to provide existing fans with a familiar experience while introducing a reinterpreted IP to new viewers.
'Infinite Challenge: Hawaii Never Die' reconfigures the popular series 'Infinite Challenge,' where members of the show appear as employees of a fictional company, 'Infinite Company,' exploring the trials and tribulations of office life. The story revolves around 'Hawaii,' who has become the spirit of the company, and the chaos that ensues among employees who believe there is a curse associated with him.
Original cast members Park Myung-soo and Jung Joon-ha will return to connect with the 'Infinite Company' universe. The series will also introduce new characters and stories set against the backdrop of the workplace in 2026.
'Next to You, Francesca' is a spinoff drama that expands the universe of the sitcom 'Hello, Francesca,' which aired in 2005. It follows a vampire named Na-young, who transfers from Romania and struggles to adapt to the human world, as she meets class president Woo-joo.
The lead role of Na-young will be played by Han Soo-ah, known for her work in 'The Betrayer' and 'Brave New World.' Kim Hyun-jin, from 'Idol: The Rebooting' and 'Cheer Up,' will portray Woo-joo. Original cast members Shim Hye-jin, Park Seul-ki, and Park Hee-jin will also make special appearances.
Alongside the new releases, Wavve will offer content that allows viewers to revisit the original works. Wavve plans to present 4K upscaled versions of 'Infinite Challenge' episodes featuring 'Infinite Company.' These episodes will be available in September, ahead of the release of 'Infinite Challenge: Hawaii Never Die.'
Previously, Wavve showcased classics like 'My Name is Kim Sam-soon' and 'I'm Sorry, I Love You' in 4K quality through its 'New Classic Project.' The platform has also reintroduced existing content to fit current viewing environments, including a 4K upscaled version of the parenting variety show 'TXT's Parenting Diary' featuring Tomorrow X Together and 'god's Parenting Diary.'
Wavve's original series 'Infinite Challenge: Hawaii Never Die' and 'Next to You, Francesca' are set to premiere later this year.
