Anak Wayang - Astro's latest talent show

After several successful seasons of Akademi Fantasia, the public is ready for something special. Usually, when we talk about a talent search competition, it's usually singing. However, this will change with Anak Wayang. This time, the spotlight is on acting talents! Yes, all you aspiring actors out there, Anak Wayang on Astro Ria and Prima, offers you the opportunity to be involved in the local Malay drama scene.


Anak Wayang consists of 2 components : a reality show in Astro Ria and a drama on Astro Prima. They will be broadcasted simultaneously and works hand-in-hand in the quest to unearth the new drama talent. Each week 5 new contestants will compete for one role in the drama. The weekly winner will then appear for 5 episodes in Kecuali Cintamu (the drama on Astro Prima). This process will continue for 5 weeks until all 5 roles are filled. Then these contestants will fight to stay in the drama as the audience can now vote them out! Exciting stuff!
