The series is designed for a pre-school audience, containing a combination of musical and educational content. The segments of the show are based on an educational model. The cast is composed of Cindya Ayu, Dewa Dayana, Alvin Lapian, Vabyra Mauriz and Claresta Ravenska. The contract was approved by Falcon and Hi-5 Operations Pte. Ltd.
Production
editDue to the successful appeal of the original Australian group in Southeast Asia, it was announced in August 2017 that a local Indonesian series would be introduced.[1] Falcon ordered 25 episodes featuring the Indonesian version of the group.[2] In November 2017, it was announced that Trans7 became the series' original network.[3]
Music
editThe program uses music as an integral part of its concept, and like the original Australian group, the cast of the Indonesian series became a recognized musical group for children outside of the show, known collectively as Hi-5. The debut album of the group, Hi-5 Indonesia, corresponded with the series and was released in August 2018.
