ITV’s hit relationship drama “Liar” is heading to Malaysia in a landmark deal for the wide-traveling scripted format.
All3Media International has sold the format, which first aired on ITV and Sundance TV back in 2017, into Malaysia’s Astro, where it will be produced by Double Vision. The distributor has also picked up the rights to the finished Malaysian series.

The show was an overnight success in the U.
