EXCLUSIVE: Fresh Off the Boat producer/author and Boogie filmmaker Eddie Huang has a new one hour drama in the works at Showtime, entitled Panda.
The pilot follows Panda, a gifted delinquent, who starts selling ecstasy in Orlando, Florida during the pressed pill boom of the late-90s. He’s motivated by his mother’s challenge to “be the best of the stupid people.” With the help of Jade, a cunning private school girl from the other side of town, they’re able to connect the hoods and take over the burgeoning drug trade in the Florida Breaks Rave Scene.
Huang is writing and executive producing. Showtime is producing with Matt Dines and Jonah Hill’s Strong Baby Productions. Dines and Hill will serve as EPs.
Filmmaker, actor and chef Huang made his feature directorial debut with Focus Features’ 2021 Boogie which he also wrote and starred in.
His auto-biographical book, Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir, was adapted into a critically acclaimed TV comedy series of the same name which ran successfully for six seasons on ABC.
Huang also hosted cooking shows including Cheap Bites & Unique Eats and Huang’s World. The latter of which focused on the concept of “exploring identity using food as an equalizer,” with Huang traveling the globe to experience local culture and politics. Huang continues to be a part of the cultural zeitgeist as he grows in both an on camera and off camera capacity.
He is represented by Entertainment 360 & UTA.

Richard Kuipers The question of what it means to be a Hong Konger is examined in Chan Tze-woo’s innovative and affecting hybrid documentary “Blue Island.” Artfully editing footage of the 2019-2020 protests with dramatic recreations of events that have shaped the British colony turned Chinese special administrative region since 1967, “Blue Island” balances its unavoidably sobering picture of the current political landscape with uplifting testimony of individuals determined to preserve the spirit of Hong Kong, no matter what the future holds. Winner of the international documentary award at Hot Docs this year, “Blue Island” will likely never be legally exhibited in Hong Kong or China, though specialty outfit Icarus Films is distributing the film theatrically in selected U.S.
