Continuing its run of slate launches globally, Netflix unveiled new Indonesian originals premiering on its platform this year.

The streamer is working on its first collaboration with director and comedian Ernest Prakasa, titled The Actor (Lupa Daratan). The comedy-drama film is about an egocentric actor who is on the cusp of landing the lead role in a prestige biopic, but suddenly finds himself stripped of his acting abilities. The film stars Vino G. Bastian, Agus Kuncoro and Dea Panendra.

Netflix will also launch its first zombie film from Indonesia, The Elixir, from accomplished horror director Kimo Stamboel. Previously announced with the working title of Abadi Nan Jaya, the film tells the story of a potion that ends up triggering a zombie outbreak due to the ambition of a herbal medicine company’s owner. The Elixir stars Donny Damara, Mikha Tambayong, Eva Celia, Dimas Anggara, Kiki Narendra and Marthino Lio.

Indonesia is a top-priority market for Netflix in the Southeast Asian region, although the domestic content head role is still vacant after veteran Rusli Eddy stepped down in October last year. Malobika Banerji, Netflix’s Southeast Asian content head, is taking on his duties temporarily. Banerji also recently took on the portfolio of Thailand ex-content head Yongyoot Thongkongtoon, after Thongkongtoon stepped down from his role this week for personal reasons.

Losmen Bu Broto: The Series, adapted from the 2021 film of the same name, tells the story of the Broto family who manages an inn in Yogyakarta. Feeling underappreciated, the youngest child faces a challenge as he tries to prove himself, only to fall for an older, married guest. The series stars Mathias Muchus, Maudy Koesnaedi, Baskara Mahendra and Wulan Guritno.

Other titles from Netflix’s Indonesia slate which have already been announced include rom-com The Most Beautiful Girl in the World (starring Reza Rahadian and Sheila Dara Aisha), Promised Hearts (Setetes Embun Cinta Niyala) and director Lucky Kuswandi’s psychological drama film A Normal Woman.

Ratu-Ratu Queens, a follow up to 2021 film Ali & Ratu Ratu Queens, will tell the story of four Indonesian immigrant women, each trying to build a new home in Queens, New York. The series stars Nirina Zubir, Asri Welas, Happy Salma and Tika Panggabean.
