RCTI Renews MasterChef

Indonesia’s RCTI has signed a deal with Endemol Shine International for a fifth season of a local adaptation of MasterChef.

MasterChef Indonesia will return for season five in 2019. The deal was negotiated by Endemol Shine International’s Rashmi Bajpai and Jasmine Goh.

“After four seasons of MasterChef Indonesia, the show still remains very popular in the region, as it does around the world,” said Cathy Payne, chief executive of Endemol Shine International. “ESI looks forward to once again working with RCTI and to continuing the success of the franchise.”

“RCTI consistently presents the best quality programs, among them MasterChef Indonesia,” said Dini Putri, programming and acquisition director at RCTI. “Indonesian families will once again be entertained and enthusiasm for Indonesian cuisine will continue to grow.”
