Indonesian streaming platform Vidio has started the countdown clock for 2024 flagship drama, Frontier Pictures’ "Ratu Adil", starring local A-lister Dian Sastrowardoyo ("Cigarette Girl"/"Gadis Kretek"/Netflix).

The eight-episode action crime series, directed by Tommy Dewo and Ginanti Rona, releases on 29 February.

Sastrowardoyo plays Lasja Seoryo, a tough housewife protecting her family from Jakarta’s ‘9 Dragons’ underworld bosses.

The cast also includes Hana Malasan ("Tunnel"), Donny Damara ("The Storylines"), Nino Fernandez ("2045 Apa Ada Cinta") and Abdurrahman Arif ("Pertaruhan: The Series"). 

Ratu Adil is produced by Wicky Olindo and Timo Tjahjanto. 

The series opens a triumphant year for Vidio, which closed 2023 at the top of Indonesia’s streaming charts as the only service to hit four million subscribers, according to Media Partners Asia (MPA). 

While earlier of original production ambitions have been scaled back, Vidio CEO, Sutanto Hartono, has underscored the platform’s ongoing commitment to local content “as the backbone of Vidio’s future growth”.
