Broadcast giant GMA Network and leading pan-regional over-the-top (OTT) video streaming service Viu are collaborating for two brand new shows this 2023.
GMA and Viu inked a five-year deal which will see two upcoming shows stream on Viu Philippines.
The first one will be 'The Write One,' starring real life sweethearts Ruru Madrid and Bianca Umali and produced by GMA Public Affairs. It tells the story of a frustrated man who will rewrite his life with the help of mysterious typewriter.
This will be followed by 'Love Before Sunrise,' which will be topbilled by Dennis Trillo and Bea Alonzo. Produced by the GMA Entertainment group, the project is a reunion for Dennis and Bea and will be their first drama series together.
