GagaOOLala is available in 21 Asian countries since launching in 2017 and will expand to more than 190 from early May.

GagaOOLala – a combination of two phrases for gay people in Taiwan – is available in 21 Asian countries since launching in 2017 and will expand to more than 190 from early May. The lockdown has cut off traditional entertainment, forced people to stay home and driven millions of new viewers to sign up for services such as Disney Plus, Netflix and Amazon Prime.“We are finding a certain depth to the streaming video economy globally post COVID as customers burn through content and libraries and try out new services and consumption rapidly grows,” said Vivek Couto, executive director at consulting and research firm Media Partners Asia.

Available via its website or mobile apps – with about 370,000 registrations to the free section of the site – GagaOOLala provides unlimited access to its LGBT+ films, TV series and documentaries from about $6 a month.
