A new series adaptation of Tawada Yoko’s acclaimed novel “The Last Children of Tokyo” is in the works as an international collaboration between NHK from Japan and Betula Films and Flash Forward Entertainment from Taiwan. The project, helmed by award-winning director Edmund Yeo, is set to commence principal photography in the spring of 2026.

Set in a dystopian Japan where the elderly have ceased to age while children face premature mortality, the story revolves around a 108-year-old man caring for his delicate great-grandson in a society that has cut off ties with the outside world. The creative team, led by producer Itagaki Maiko from NHK and veteran Taiwan producer Patrick Mao Huang, aims to bring this thought-provoking narrative to life on screen.

Unveiled at the Taiwan Creative Content Fest as part of the Serial Bridges: TAICCA x Series Mania pitches, the adaptation delves deeper into Tawada’s original concept, exploring the origins of Japan’s predicament and its impact on its inhabitants. Director Yeo expressed his fascination with the book’s unsettling themes, especially in light of the recent global pandemic, which mirrored the novel’s dystopian setting.

The series promises to be a captivating multi-generational family saga, blending elements of humor, terror, and heartbreak as it unfolds in a crumbling world. Producer Ivy Shen Yu-Hua, known for her work on award-winning films, confirmed that adaptation rights have been secured, with script development underway and financing efforts scheduled to kick off in 2025.

With a focus on breaking barriers and fostering international connections, the project aims to leverage the strengths of co-productions to enhance the traditional Japanese TV landscape. Seeking to collaborate with talent and investors from Taiwan, Japan, and beyond, the producers are optimistic about the potential of this ambitious undertaking.
