FOLLOWING the moderate success of the Astro Originals’ series Projek: Anchor SPM which aired in 2020, Astro produced another series from the “Projek” anthology. Known as Projek: High Council, the show has become a pop culture phenomenon among local viewers.
The Malaysian school television drama series – which debuted on Astro Ria, Astro OnDemand, and Astro Go in mid-January – ran for 10 episodes, airing its gut-wrenching finale on March 18.
The series was unique for featuring mostly newcomers, such as Mierul Aiman, Amir Ahnaf and Yusof Hashim, whose relatablity helped to boost the show’s popularity among youths.
Alongside them, the cast also featured Projek: Anchor SPM alums Nadhir Nasar and Daiyan Trisha, Naim Daniel, Hasnul Rahmat, Sazy Falak, and Azhar Sulaiman.
Co-directed by Anwari Ashraf and Zulaikha Zakaria, and produced by Pasal Productions, the series follows Fakhri (Mierul) who has been transferred to the highly prestigious all-male boarding school known as Kolej Ungku Deramat (KUDRAT), not knowing that his long-lost brother, Naim (Nadhir) also attends there and serves as its head prefect.
