Kopitiam: Double Shot
Also known as Kopitiam 2.0, this is a reboot of Malaysia's most loved sitcom. The Kopitiam once owned by Marie is now the property of a prematurely jaded Steven (Douglas Lim). Just as he plans to sell off the unloved business, a couple of regulars offer to take it over. Recently retrenched dreamer Alia (Sharifah Amani), and her spacey but well-intentioned bestie, Seleb (Melissa Campbell). Together with a cute but awkward chef (Harvinth Skin), a know-it-all helper who refuses to be fired (Charles Roberts), and the world’s most improbable Hollywood star, Jo (Rashid Salleh), the gang embark on all manner of (mis)adventures in their bid to bring the long-forgotten Kopitiam into the 21st century.
