Indonesia takes the 2020 lead in Southeast Asia
15 June 2020
Indonesia leads Southeast Asian formats activity at the moment, with auditions opening this month for the new season of Indonesian Idol by Fremantle for RCTI, and the premiere on Monday (15 June) of the second season of Endemol Shine scripted format, The Bridge, by Malaysia’s Double Vision for Viu and HBO Asia. This follows a 10-episode Indonesian version of Emil Heradi’s Pretty Little Liars in April, also for Viu, and Nia Dinata’s nine-episode Gossip Girl Indonesia in February for GoPlay, the video streaming platform operated by ride-sharing platform GoJek.
The latest formats activity, which comes as streaming activity ramps up in Indonesia, puts the country ahead of other markets in the region this year so far.
Last year, Indonesia ran fourth behind Vietnam, Thailand and India, according to ContentAsia’s Formats Outlook.
In 2019, Indonesia had a total of 34 formats, an increase of six over 2018’s 28.
Game shows took the largest share, with 14 formats – or 41% of the total. Twelve of these were from Fremantle.
Titles included five seasons of Let’s Make A Deal (from season two to season six and an extension of the latest season until March 2020), and seasons 21 to 23 of Family Feud.
Others were Japanese broadcaster TBS’ Takeshi’s Castle and Thai production house and broadcaster, the Workpoint Group’s Big Box.
Four scripted formats were part of last year’s commissions – Warner Bros International’s high-profile adaptations of Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars, ABS-CBN’s The Heiress, which premiered on Antv in January this year and CJ ENM’s Tunnel, which aired on GoPlay in December last year. Pretty Little Liars featured a mixed Indonesian/Malaysian cast.
Not all genres fared equally well in Indonesia, where broadcast fortunes have proven to be a mixed bag but where optimism about the opportunities of delivering entertainment to a country with 96% of TV penetration never seems to wane despite the setbacks.
Reality was up last year by four titles. But singing contests were down by three. Entertainment was flat at one titles and talk show...

Reality was up last year by four titles. But singing contests were down by three. Entertainment was flat at one titles and talk shows dropped off the radar completely from the single title (Dr. Oz’s Show Indonesia S4) in 2018.
