There are now more ways than ever to access ABS-CBN despite the franchise rejection which includes live viewing, on-demand viewing, cable, and recently their comeback on free television.
The Kapamilya network has announced back-to-back fresh new programs that most will be top- billed by Kapamilya love teams, KathNiel, SethDrea, KyCine, and other emerging stars of the network.
In fact, at least seven fresh new series are expected to premiere in the coming months that will not just offer entertainment but a quality show that was produced under the ongoing pandemic.
First is Bagong Umaga directed by Rizza G. Ebriega, a new TV barkada series that will encourage viewers and give life lessons with their intertwined stories.
It will be spearheaded by Tony Labrusca, Barbie Imperial, Kiko Estrada, Michelle Vito, Yves Flores, and new lead actress of the show, Heaven Peralejo.
Next in line is the most talked about and awaited series, Star Cinema’s The House Arrest of Us, directed by Richard Arellano. Lead actors Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla promise both laughs and a bit of drama.
This follows the story of an engaged couple whose warring families are forced to share a home because of the pandemic. Herbert Bautista, Ruffa Gutierrez, Gardo Versoza, and Arlene Muhlach are also part of the show.
Another series of ABS-CBN’s Star Creatives will star Gerald Anderson, Yam Concepcion, and JM de Guzman in Init sa Magdamag.
Yam will play as Rita, a congresswoman, JM will play as Peterson Alvarez, an aspiring politician, and Yam’s husband, and Gerald will play as Tupe, a doctor.
According to the director of the series, Raymond Ocampo, the title comes from the popular ’80s tune about love. This series will combine politics and romance, produced by Star Creatives, as it focuses on a congresswoman and her relationships with her aspiring politician-husband and a neighborhood doctor.
Next is La Vida Lena which will be led by Kapamilya actress Erich Gonzales, along with actors Carlo Aquino, JC de Vera, and Kit Thompson.
