International TV production group Fremantle and Indonesia’s Wahana Kreator Nusantara have agreed a partnership for scripted projects. The first is an Asian horror anthology “The Sacred Riana: Bedtime Stories,” starring Indonesian magician and illusionist The Sacred Riana.
“Bedtime Stories” is an English-language series set around the continent and inspired by folklore and urban legends. Each self-contained, stand-alone episode has a unique cast and storyline, and is aimed at a worldwide audience. The show will also feature magic and illusions by The Sacred Riana, who debuted internationally on “Asia’s Got Talent,” before transitioning to “America’s Got Talent.”
The two companies are also developing the episodic drama, “Ex Addicts,” based on the Klub Kecanduan Mantan podcast, which was recently released on the Joox music streaming platform. The series will be a romantic comedy series centered around the lives of a group of quirky people with an inability to get over their former partners.

Bottom Three: Da Republik Front Pictures Makayla Phillips To be honest, when Tyra said these three names, my eyes went wide. These three acts, each talented in their own right, does not deserve to be in this category. If anything, Yumbo Dump and The Sacred Riana should be the ones on this list. Their performances on Tuesday night did not wow me in any way, however, the intro video for Riana was quite scary. When

The Sacred Riana returned to scare the judges of “America’s Got Talent” — specifically Mel B. — but this time, she somehow managed to scale walls as well.
“She is coming for one of you,” The Sacred Riana told the judges panel, which includes Heidi Klum, Simon Cowell and Howie Mandel. The magician held up a photograph of the judges, and Mel B. is clearly freaked out after The Sacred Riana’s previous performance.
“Who?” Mel B. asked before they were shown the photograph again with Mel B.’s face on it. Of course, it then showed up glued to a voodoo doll.

Mel B and the other judges of “America’s Got Talent” got totally freaked out when The Sacred Riana returned to the stage with an imaginary friend.
“My imaginary friend likes to play, and she also likes fear,” says The Sacred Riana in a clip from the episode that will air Tuesday. She then hands a doll to Mel B.
