Akademi Fantasi Indosiar (commonly abbreviated as AFI) was Indonesia's second reality television show after Popstars Indonesia in which a number of contestants called students competed for the winning title and a chance to start their career in the entertainment industry.

The first season premiered in the end of November 2003 and was one of Indosiar's highest rated shows. The theme song entitled "Menuju Puncak" was the same as Akademi Fantasia from Malaysia, composed by Aubrey Suwito.

The format of the show was taken from La Academia, which originated in Mexico. Indonesia is the second country in Southeast Asia after Malaysia to have its own version of this show.

Season 3

The third season of Akademi Fantasi Indosiar was launched on April 21, 2004. The auditions were held at some Indonesia's major cities such as Jakarta, Bandung, Makaksar, Yogyakarta, Semarang, Surabaya and Medan. This season, Indonesian Idols also conducted small auditions at some other cities such as Manado and Ambon. The contestants who passed the initial round in both Manado and Ambon were eventually brought into an elimination round in Surabaya.

The Final Three consisted of Leo, Alvin, and Sutha. There were unconfirmed rumors arose saying that the Top 3 contestants made it to the top because of their looks.

The third season also released a compilation album called, Tribute to Tonny Koeswoyo. Tonny, one of the founding members of Koes Plus, a legendary Indonesian Rock Band, died in 1987. Before his death, he and his brothers produced more than a few catch tunes that people still remember until today. The Top 12 Finalists sang Nusantara (Nusantara is the other name for Indonesia) as well as Koes Plus' other famous hit songs such as Diana and Kembali ke Jakarta (Return to Jakarta).

Since the show ended, Alvin and Eky have acted in a TV drama called Idola (Idol) which was aired on Indosiar every Monday on 8 pm. Sutha also acted in an Love series called Cinderella which was also aired by Indosiar.
