GMA-7 is set to do another adaptation of Thalia’s Mexican hit Marimar with returning Kapuso and Miss World 2013 Megan Young playing the title role.

Tom Rodriguez will be tapped to play Sergio Santibanez, the role originally portrayed by Dingdong Dantes.

In a recent article published on GMANetwork.com, it confirmed that a second TV adaptation of Marimar will be aired by the Kapuso network, along with four other shows to be launched in the second half of 2015.

The article revealed that the new version will have a different take from the 2007 version, which was led by Marian and Dingdong.
