Edmund Yeo to direct dystopian drama based on Tawada Yoko novel as Taiwan-Japan co-production, with spring 2026 production start planned.
A series adaptation of Tawada Yoko’s award-winning novel “ The Last Children of Tokyo ” is being developed as an international co-production between Japan’s NHK and Taiwan’s Betula Films and Flash Forward Entertainment, with principal photography targeted for spring 2026. The project, directed by Edmund Yeo, who won best director at the Tokyo International Film Festival for “We, the Dead,” takes place in a dystopian Japan where the elderly have stopped ageing, but children face early mortality. “As audiences follow the journey of a boy and his great-grandfather through dystopian Japan, which can sometimes be absurdly funny, terrifying and heartbreaking, the series gradually reveals itself as a multigenerational family saga,” Yeo explained.
