JAKARTA - Caitlin Halderman joins the second season of Pretty Little Liars series. Caitlin Halderman will co-star with Yuki Kato (Alissa), Valerie Thomas (Sabrina), Anya Geraldine (Hanna), and Shindy Huang (Aria). In addition, the character played by Caitlin also has a close relationship with Mahesa (played by Naufal Samudra).

The second season will continue the search for answers to the "The Liars" gang regarding the mystery of the figure with the initials "A" who has been terrorizing their lives after Alissa disappeared suddenly and was found lifeless.

Caitlin Halderman admitted that she felt both depressed and challenged when playing the character Ema who uses the Malay language in the web series Pretty Little Liars season two. Previously, in the first season, the character was played by Eyka Farhana who is a Malaysian actress.

"It's more of pressure because they know that suddenly Ema has been replaced. They immediately say, 'Well why, like they still want to hear Eyka's Malaysian accent'. And there I felt like, 'Wow, this is a new challenge for me, because I also have to be the same (like Eyka)," said the woman of Minangkabau-Dutch descent, quoted from ANTARA, Tuesday, April 5.

Even though it was difficult at first, on the other hand, Caitlin was excited to see the audience's response to the new Ema character she played. In the end, Caitlin was able to overcome this challenge when many parties supported and were curious about her acting skills in the series.

To learn Malay, Caitlin was accompanied by a trainer to practice how to pronounce Malay, in addition to learning Eyka's speaking style in the first season.

"Then luckily I know a Malaysian, I often talk to him, so I'm used to it," said Caitlin.

For information, Eyka cannot return to be involved in the "Pretty Little Liars" series project due to the pandemic. Director Emil Heradi assessed that Caitlin was the right person to replace Eyka because she was able to carry the character of Ema well.

According to Emil, Caitlin has good skills in dialogue using the Malay language. In fact, he felt confused when he heard Caitlin speak Indonesian in everyday life.

On the other hand, Caitlin also agrees that she is used to speaking in a Malay accent during the second season of "Pretty Little Liars", and even now she still likes to speak Malay.

"Sometimes, until now, I still carries Malaysian accent. Once again filming suddenly said 'paham' to 'faham'," said Caitlin Halderman.
