MORE TALENT JOINS ‘AGENCY’


Indonesia’s Miles Films and SK Global Entertainment have revealed more of the talent participating in their “The Talent Agency” (aka “Harbungi Agen Guei”) the local version of the hit French series, “Call My Agent!.” Other recurring roles go to Sheryl Sheinafia, Chicco Kurniawan, Dea Panendra, and Agni Pratistha. Guest stars in the series—who play a version of themselves—include Luna Maya, Tara Basro, Zara Adhisty, Adipati Dolken, comedians Pandji Pragiwaksono and Soleh Solihun, and young stars Kevin Ardilova and Bio One. The show is now in post-production and will air on Disney+ from next year. Miles Films’ Mira Lesmana and Riri Riza are showrunners with Teddy Soeriaatmadja (“Lovely Man”, “Affliction”) directing. The show was teased last week at Disney’s content showcase in Singapore.

NEW NHK PRESIDENT

Japan’s public broadcaster NHK has named Inaba Nobuo, former executive director of the Bank of Japan, as its next president. Inaba, 72, will replace Maeda Terunobu with effect from Jan. 25, 2023. He is the fifth man in a row hailing from the private sector to take the post.

The venerable company agreed in October to cut its mandatory viewer subscription fees by 10% from next year. The move means that NHK’s income will drop at a time when viewership is falling. Other challenges include competing against streaming services without significantly expanding its own online activities. “The government hopes for Inaba to exert strong leadership as the top official of a public broadcaster entrusted with socially important missions to fulfil,” government spokesman Matsuno Hirokazu said.
