Chinese stories, translated for a wider world.
Red Lantern TV (redlanterntv.com) is a premium free streaming destination for Chinese movies, dramas, documentaries, lifestyle, food, travel, and culture — built for Chinese-speaking viewers in the U.S. and American viewers discovering Chinese entertainment.
Built for a Global Audience
One platform, three deeply considered experiences — each tuned to how its audience discovers, watches, and shares.
A familiar entertainment destination with Mandarin and Chinese-language discovery — homepage, search, and metadata localized end-to-end.
Chinese films, dramas, food, travel, and history made easier to discover through English titles, subtitles, dubs, and cultural context built into every story.
A future-ready OTT platform with localization, publishing, rights management, and audience expansion tools — purpose-built for crossing markets.
