Marian Rivera, Sharon Cuneta Lead Prime Video Philippines Slate

Prime Video has committed to seven Filipino Prime Original series through its first-ever local slate event in the Philippines, forging content partnerships with networks ABS-CBN and GMA across genres spanning political thriller, family drama, psychological suspense, romance, crime and comedy.

The late also covers licensed Filipino films and a raft of Korean series running through Q4 2026.

Now streaming since March 20, crime drama “The Silent Noise” – produced by ABS-CBN Studios – centers on Eli, a deaf 10-year-old in the coastal town of Escondido who tries to make sense of his teacher’s sudden death as police investigation turns suspicion toward his own family. Angelica Panganiban and Zanjoe Marudo lead the cast, alongside Zaijian Jaranilla, Mutya Orquia, Joem Bascon, Mylene Dizon and KD Omalin.

The first new original out of the gate is romance “Love Is Never Gone,” set for May 8. Produced by Dreamscape Entertainment and ABS-CBN Studios, the series stars Joshua Garcia and Ivana Alawi as two people from different circumstances whose lives collide unexpectedly in Morocco, with their bond tested by distance, personal history and the choices each must make. Jameson Blake, Jane Oineza, Michael de Mesa, Epy Quizon and Dina Bonnevie also feature.

Psychological drama “The Loyalty Game” follows in July, with Janine Gutierrez, Jericho Rosales and Sofia Andres starring in a story of a seemingly solid couple whose relationship buckles when a third party enters their lives and pushes the limits of trust in ways none of them anticipated. The series is produced by Star Creatives and ABS-CBN Studios.

September brings two titles. Family drama “Honor Thy Mother” – produced by ABS-CBN Studios and GMA – reunites Sharon Cuneta and Barbie Forteza as a mother and daughter who, after years apart, find themselves on opposite sides of a bitter contest for what each believes is rightfully hers. Old wounds resurface as they weigh whether to confront the past together or let it drive them further apart. John Estrada, Tonton Gutierrez, Khalil Ramos and Mercedes Cabral also star.

Cross-cultural drama “Kopino,” produced by Dreamscape Entertainment and ABS-CBN Studios and arriving in November, follows a woman who becomes drawn into the lives of Kopino children – Korean-Filipino children often abandoned by their foreign fathers – and the man connected to their history. The series explores themes of identity, accountability and the long reach of choices made across borders. Paulo Avelino, Kim Chiu and Jo Byeong Kyu star.

Political thriller “Behind Closed Doors,” produced by GMA and set for release later in the year, casts Marian Rivera as a radio announcer whose secret relationship with the Philippine President – portrayed by Dingdong Dantes in a special participation – is exposed when she becomes the prime suspect in his assassination. Jillian Ward plays his daughter. Comedy competition series “LOL: Last One Laughing Philippines” also returns for a second season with Vice Ganda as host; premiere date and cast are to be confirmed.

“We’ve seen Filipino audiences embrace global Prime Video hits like ‘The Boys’ and ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty,’ which shows the appetite for premium storytelling,” said David Simonsen, director of Prime Video Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. “Now we’re bringing that same commitment to quality with local originals featuring Filipino talent.”

Chaitanya Divan, head of content acquisition at Prime Video Southeast Asia, added: “Working closely with ABS-CBN and GMA, we’re supporting local storytellers to bring their visions to life – stories that speak to our local Filipino audiences while showcasing the incredible Filipino talents.”

Licensed Filipino film additions include GMA Pictures comedy “Samahan ng mga Makasalanan,” due in April, starring David Licauco, Sanya Lopez and Joel Torre; horror anthology “Gabi ng Lagim” (June), framed through the storytelling of Jessica Soho and featuring Arthur Acuna, Elijah Canlas and Jillian Ward; legal drama sequel “Bar Boys: After School” (July), with Carlo Aquino, Rocco Nacino, Enzo Pineda and Kean Cipriano; and queer drama “Open Endings” (July), with Jasmine Curtis-Smith, Janella Salvador, Klea Pineda and Leanne Mamonong. The Bayaniverse historical trilogy – “Quezon” (May), “Heneral Luna” and “Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral” – rounds out the licensed film slate, with “Quezon” starring Jericho Rosales as Manuel L. Quezon in a dramatization of the future president’s political ascent through the American occupation era.

On the Korean side, the broader 2026 lineup opens April 17 with “Absolute Value of Romance,” in which high school student Yeo Eui-ju moonlights as a web novelist whose new teachers become unlikely inspiration; it stars Kim Hyang Gi alongside Cha Hak-yeon and Kim Jae-hyun, and is produced by Coupang Play, Mediacorp, Good Wave Inc. and Borderless Film. Workplace romance “See You at Work Tomorrow!” (June), adapted from a Kakao Webtoon and starring Seo In-guk and Park Ji-hyun, follows a burnt-out product planner who has sworn off relationships until her most dreaded colleague changes course. Produced by Studio Dragon and Kross Pictures.

Further Korean titles include spy romance “Love in Disguise” (October), with Yim Siwan and Seorina, produced by CJ ENM Studios and Pitapat Studio; historical action series “Sacred Jewel,” set during the 13th-century Mongol invasions and starring Ahn Bo-hyun, Lee Sung-min and Claudia Kim, produced by SLL and Celltrion Entertainment; and supernatural rom-com “Human X Gumiho,” with Gianna Jun as a 2,000-year-old gumiho disguised as a top actress opposite Ji Chang Wook, produced by HighZium Studio and Contents Planner.
