Among what was shared is that Viu produces up to 3 to 5 Viu Originals in a year. Based on the scale of Viu Original dramas, Viu has directly created between 80 to 100 job opportunities for each production. This figure increases to 120, including the main and supporting cast members.

Viu holistically portrays itself as a catalyst for developing the local creative scene in hopes of collectively contributing to setting local entertainment standards.

Besides engaging established players for its Viu Original dramas, Viu also focuses on building budding talents in Malaysia by working with aspiring screenwriters to get up-and-coming talents to submit their stories to the Viu Pitching Forum. The winning submission from the forum is then brought to life as a Viu Original drama, such as the upcoming Alter-Naratif.
