'Pretty Little Liars' Asian Remake To Be Streaming on Viu App

A few days ago, we went on to report how Pretty Little Liars is officially getting a remake, however, not in the English language. The show will be getting a Bahasa language remake and will be shot entirely in Indonesia.

Just like the original, the remake will also follow a group of four estranged undergrads whose group fell apart when their former leader went missing. The girls come back together in the face of danger when they begin receiving messages from a mysterious figure known as "A" who threatens to expose their darkest secrets.

Set in the fictional town of Amerta, the series will be directed by Emil Heradi (The Night Bus, Sagarmatha). The cast is headlined by Anya Geraldine as Hanna, Eyka Farhana as Ema, Valerie Thomas as Sabrina, Shindy Huang as Aria and Yuki Kato as Alissa.

"Viu is one of the market leaders in local storytelling, and we are excited to partner with them in transforming Pretty Little Liars into a Southeast Asian show that builds on the original yet is also uniquely its own story, entertaining millions of people," said Andrew Zein, WBITVP senior VP creative, format development and sales.

"Pretty Little Liars is a proven show that resonates with younger viewers with similar profiles to our Viu audience, and we are pleased to begin our journey with WBITVP and bring it to our audience and platform," said PCCW Media Group managing director Janice Lee.

Slated to bow later this year, the remake follows Viu's earlier adaptation of Endemol Shine's The Bridge.
