Jakarta, Indonesia – July 30, 2026 — Streaming platform Viu is set to keep audiences entertained throughout the third quarter of 2026 with a diverse lineup of seven new titles spanning romance, comedy, thriller, family drama, variety entertainment, and original Indonesian productions.

Announced during the Viu Media Gathering Q3 2026 in Jakarta, the upcoming slate reflects the platform’s strategy of delivering fresh content every week while catering to viewers with a wide range of entertainment preferences.

This quarter’s lineup includes Dream to You, Lapor Pak!, The Affair Was Just the Beginning, Garam Muda, OK! Let’s Get Divorced, Zong Ran, and Dia Perempuan Sialan.

While Dream to You premiered on July 13 and Lapor Pak! arrived on July 24, the remaining titles will roll out gradually between late July and September.

New Stories Every Week

According to Adisti Latiefi, Senior Director of SVOD Monetization at Viu Indonesia, today’s streaming competition is no longer about who has the largest content library.

“It’s about who can bring audiences back every week because there’s always something new and relevant to watch,” she explained.

“Through our spirit of ‘Something New Every Week on Viu for You,’ we want to deliver fresh, diverse stories for Indonesian audiences. Success isn’t measured by the number of titles we offer, but by stories people genuinely look forward to and keep coming back for.”

Premium Entertainment, Accessible to Everyone

Viu also reaffirmed its commitment to making premium entertainment easy to access, regardless of how users choose to subscribe.

Viewers can sign up directly through the Viu app or website using a variety of payment methods commonly used in Indonesia, including digital wallets, bank transfers, mobile credit, retail outlets, app stores, and cash vouchers. A single subscription can be used across smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs.

Beyond direct subscriptions, Viu continues to expand its reach through partnerships with telecommunications providers, device manufacturers, digital platforms, and retail distribution channels.

“Premium isn’t defined by price,” Adisti added. “Premium means delivering stories worth waiting for, consistently and meaningfully.”

Korean Romance Leads the Lineup

One of the platform’s headline releases is Dream to You, starring Hwang In-youp and Hyeri.

The 12-episode romantic comedy follows Woo Su-bin, a talented young film director who returns to Korea in search of Joo Yi-jae, the girl who once shared his dreams during their teenage years. While Su-bin has achieved professional success, Yi-jae has quietly abandoned her own ambitions while working as a reporter.

Their reunion becomes a heartfelt journey of rediscovering forgotten dreams, healing emotional scars, and navigating adulthood, burnout, and self-discovery.

The series premiered on July 13 and concludes on August 18.

Indonesia’s Favorite Comedy Arrives on Viu

Comedy fans can now enjoy 30 curated episodes of the hit Indonesian variety show Lapor Pak!

Known for its hilarious sketches, improvisation, and satirical take on current events, the series features popular entertainers including Andre Taulany, Wendi Cagur, Andhika Pratama, Kiky Saputri, Ayu Ting Ting, Surya Insomnia, and Hesti Purwadinata.

The first ten episodes became available on July 24, with one additional episode released daily until the full collection is complete.

Dark Comedy Meets Crime Mystery

Premiering on July 31, The Affair Was Just the Beginning blends family drama, dark comedy, crime mystery, and social satire into an eight-episode thriller.

The story follows Kyung-hee, a successful CEO known as “Korea’s Mom Next Door,” whose seemingly perfect life begins to crumble after she suspects her husband of having an affair. What starts as an investigation into infidelity soon uncovers far more dangerous secrets that threaten to destroy the entire family.

The series stars Kim Hye-soo and Cho Yeo-jeong, and is created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, the visionary behind the global phenomenon Squid Game.

Garam Muda Brings Hipdut to Teen Romance

Premiering on August 7, Viu Original Garam Muda offers a refreshing blend of coming-of-age romance and music through the unique fusion genre known as Hipdut—a mix of hip-hop and dangdut.

Starring Junior Roberts as Kaizen and Aisyah Aqilah as Annet, the 12-episode series follows a popular high school student who secretly joins a Hipdut music group to reconnect with the girl who once protected him from bullying.

As Kaizen navigates friendship, romance, social pressure, and his dream of becoming a viral musician, Garam Muda explores themes of identity, acceptance, and staying true to yourself.

A Phone Call Across Time

Fantasy romance arrives with the Chinese drama Zong Ran.

The story follows Ren Zhan, who discovers an old mobile phone capable of receiving messages from Wu Xiu, a woman living ten years in the past.

As they attempt to change each other’s destinies, every decision creates unexpected consequences across time.

Produced by Huace, the 30-episode series stars Liang Jie and Guo Junchen, with its release date set to be announced later this quarter.

Love Begins With Divorce

Launching on August 19, OK! Let’s Get Divorced offers an unconventional romantic premise built around a “divorce-first” storyline.

The 12-episode Korean drama follows a celebrity couple whose seemingly perfect marriage begins to unravel after a public argument during a reality television program. What starts as a divorce soon forces both partners to confront unresolved emotions, painful memories, and lingering feelings that refuse to disappear.

The series stars Lee Min-jung and Kim Ji-seok.

Revenge Hides Behind a Smile

Closing the quarter on September 10 is Dia Perempuan Sialan, an eight-episode thriller starring Meerqeen, Caitlin Halderman, and Hannah Delisha.

The story begins when wealthy matriarch Puan Sri Asyikin falsely accuses her housemaid Bulan of killing her beloved cat. After brutally abusing Bulan and causing a tragic accident, Asyikin shows no remorse.

Eight months later, the matriarch dies under mysterious circumstances, leading her family to believe they have been cursed. On the very same day, a seemingly kind and trustworthy new maid named Riska arrives at the house—but her appearance is anything but coincidental.

Blending psychological suspense with family secrets and revenge, the series promises a gripping conclusion to Viu’s Q3 lineup.

Something for Every Viewer

From heartwarming romance and coming-of-age stories to laugh-out-loud comedy, mystery, family conflict, and psychological thrillers, Viu’s Q3 2026 lineup reflects the platform’s commitment to offering entertainment for every type of viewer.

With new releases arriving almost every week, subscribers can look forward to a steady stream of fresh stories featuring acclaimed Korean stars, beloved Indonesian entertainers, rising regional talent, and compelling original productions—making Viu a destination for audiences seeking diverse and engaging content throughout the rest of the year.
