Mediacorp's Emerald Hill – The Little Nyonya Story to premiere on Chinese streaming platform Tencent Video in end-2025
This makes Tencent Video the digital home for both the original 2008 hit The Little Nyonya and its acclaimed spin-off, allowing viewers new and old to experience the entire Nyonya saga in one place.
This landmark streaming deal strategically complements the show's upcoming premiere on SMG's Dragon TV, announced last month, allowing the show to reach both television and digital streaming viewers.
Emerald Hill drew over 1.67 million viewers on mewatch and Channel 8 upon its debut in Singapore earlier this year, making it the most-watched local Chinese drama on these platforms in five years.
This statistic excludes viewership on regional and global platforms like Netflix Singapore, where it made history as the first Mediacorp Chinese drama to debut at No 1, a position it held for four weeks out of a total of seven consecutive weeks on the streamer's Top 10 TV Programmes rankings.
'As a spin-off to The Little Nyonya, a classic IP that holds precious memories for a generation of viewers, Emerald Hill continues the legacy with polished production and a gripping storyline,' said a Tencent spokesperson.
'We're confident it will captivate both new and returning audiences with its blend of Nanyang charm and modern storytelling, and become a new icon on Emerald Hill.'
Virginia Lim, chief content officer of Mediacorp shared: 'Our ambition has always been to bring the Singaporean voice to the world stage, and this landmark deal with Tencent Video is a proud milestone in that journey.
'Now, millions of viewers can experience both the beloved original, The Little Nyonya, and its new chapter, Emerald Hill, on the same platform, creating a wonderful bridge between its original fans and a new generation of viewers.'
Produced by Mediacorp, Emerald Hill is a spin-off of the beloved 2008 hit The Little Nyonya. Set within the opulent confines of a sprawling Peranakan mansion, Emerald Hill unfurls across two gripping murder mysteries and the entwined lives of three Little Nyonyas – a story of legacy, betrayal and love that spans generations.

Mario Ho rubbishes scandalous rumours of inappropriate relationship with sister, fathering illegitimate child with singer
We're used to seeing Mario Ho making headlines for all the good things: His thriftiness, his high-achieving brain (he's an MIT alum and a known math genius), and even how much he dotes on his wife, Chinese model Ming Xi, with whom he has two kids. Recently, a wave of explosive allegations against Mario, who is the son of late Casino King Stanley Ho and his fourth wife Angela Leong, sent Chinese social media into a state of frenzy. In a series of scandalous posts on microblogging platform Weibo, the 30-year-old was accused of infidelity, having an illegitimate child, and even being in an inappropriate relationship with his sister. A netizen claimed that Mario fathered a child with Yumi Bai, one-half of Singaporean Mandopop duo BY2. He reportedly dated Yumi back in 2014. It was also alleged that Mario was involved with Yumi's twin, Miko. The netizen then claimed that Mario has an ambiguous and messy romantic relationship with... his sister, Alice Ho. Meanwhile, some news outlets have claimed the sibling in question is Mario's half-sister, Laurinda Ho, whose mum is Stanley Ho's third wife, Ina Chan. Never one to back down from a fight, Mario Ho took to Weibo to rubbish the rumours. 'First they said I had a child with another woman, which I already denied back in 2019 – there's no child! Then they said I dated both of sisters, which just left me completely confused," he said. He also condemned those fabricating rumours about him and his sister, adding that he's baffled by claims that he and Alice were "kidnapped together" and their 'relationship' blossomed then. "Everyone's imagination is too wild. What's next? Dating aliens from the pyramids?" he questioned. While he didn't think these ridiculous rumours warranted a response, he felt he needed to issue a statement for the sake of those involved. 'It's all fake, fake, fake," he emphasised. 'Just because a woman takes a photo with someone doesn't mean you should jump to conclusions about romance, affairs, or children. Please show some respect.'
