Raya & the Last Dragon (7pm - 8.50pm)
Synopsis: Long ago, in the fantasy world of Kumandra, humans and dragons lived together in harmony. But when an evil force threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity. Now, 500 years later, that same evil has returned and it's up to a lone warrior, Raya, to track down the legendary last dragon to restore the fractured land and its divided people. However, along her journey, she'll learn that it'll take more than a dragon to save the world- it's going to take trust and teamwork as well.
We Can Save the World!!! (9pm -11pm)
Synopsis: Disillusioned government worker, Ryan, is stuck in a soulless job at the local town council. While tracking down a missing recycling bin, he encounters a homeless man, Peng, who claims to be an extraterrestrial. As Ryan begrudgingly teams up with Peng to hunt for the latter's doomsday device, they embark on a madcap adventure through Singapore: running into a rabid doomsday cult hot on their heels, dodging top-secret government agents, yet finding surprising allies who join their cause. Sometimes by simply helping the person next to you — even if they are a crazy-looking homeless man who's really an alien — you can Save The World!!!
