The series will consist of 20 episodes, each lasting 25 minutes, and is expected to premiere on VTV1 in early December 2026. “The Sun Never Sets” focuses on two specialized forces, the coast guard and commando forces. Although they differ in their operating environments, combat methods, and professional expertise, both are integral components of the unified Viet Nam People’s Army. Whether operating on the front lines at sea or carrying out discreet missions, personnel from both forces embody the qualities of Uncle Ho’s soldiers in the new era: loyalty, courage, humanity, and dedication to the people. The series also affirms that regardless of their force or operational front, they share the same oath and mission of defending the Fatherland and protect the people.

The series aims to help audiences nationwide gain a better understanding of the functions and missions of the coast guard and commando forces. It will also honor the contributions and values of the two forces in national construction and defense, while highlighting the strength and growing capabilities of the Viet Nam People’s Army in a new era of development.

The filming began at Commando Brigade 113, a unit of the Commando Corps known for its green, clean, and beautiful grounds.
