Ustad Millennial Synopsis Specially Prepared By WeTV To Welcome Ramadan

JAKARTA - Ramadan is the most awaited moment for Muslims in Indonesia. Many shows are prepared to welcome the fasting month. This year, WeTV is preparing a series titled WeTV Original Ustad Millennial.

WeTV Original Ustad Millennial is a collaboration between WeTV Indonesia and Imagine Pictures. The series stars six multitalented millennial actors such as Arbani Yazis, Prilly Latuconsina, Yoriko Angeline, Umay Shahab, Hanggini, Endy Arfian and two senior actors Cut Mini and Donny Alamsyah.

Ustad Millennial presents a story of love and religious journey, but also spiced up the story of family, friendship and the struggles of a group of millennials running a business. The series, which will air on April 12, 2021, tells the story of Ahmad (Arbani Yasiz) who is eager to continue his education to Cairo, Egypt to become a preacher or ustad. But unfortunately, his ideals were dashed when his father died and mandated Ahmad to continue his father's wood workshop business.

Together with his little friends Ibrahim (Endy Arfian) and Khadija (Prilly Latuconsina) who are the younger brother of Ibrahim and the woman who was also betrothed to Ahmad, they struggled to overcome the wood workshop that was threatened with bankruptcy. Ahmad's concerns begin to arise when he realizes he has feelings for Susan (Yoriko Angeline), a non-Muslim girl who is admired by Ahmad.

In the midst of the stalemate facing threatened business, love and feelings, Khadija is secretly loved by Timbo (Umay Shahab), a childhood friend who suddenly offers help. WeTV Original Ustad Millennials will present another side of millennial life, which is not only active on social media but also a creative and resilient group struggling to deal with problems by sticking to their beliefs.

Lesley Simpson, Country Manager of WeTV and iflix Indonesia said WeTV Original Ustad Millennial is a series that audiences are waiting for. WeTV is ready to provide entertainment during Ramadan with various series, one of which is WeTV Original Ustad Millennial.

"WeTV Original Ustad Millennial presents entertainment during Ramadan while waiting for iftar, in addition to WeTV Original Ustad Millennial becomes an opportunity for Indonesian content that can be enjoyed by overseas audiences, especially in Asia through the WeTV platform. In the future, WeTV continues to actively create a lot of local content, especially with a young and accomplished cast," said Lesley Simpson, in Jakarta, Friday (9/4).
