Two industry leaders have forged a huge partnership! GMA Network and Viu Philippines's deal will bring in a wave of exciting new offerings.
Philippine broadcast giant GMA Network and leading pan-regional over-the-top (OTT) video streaming service Viu are set to bring world-class content to more Filipinos as the two enter a five year partnership deal.
The said deal, which marks the first-ever collaboration between GMA and Viu, will bring upcoming Kapuso shows available on Viu Philippines, beginning with The Write One and Love Before Sunrise.
The partnership was made official during a contract signing held last January 12. Representing GMA Network were Senior Vice President for Programming, Talent Management, Worldwide, and Support Group, and President of GMA Films Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes; Senior Vice President for Entertainment Group Lilybeth G. Rasonable; First Vice President for Public Affairs Nessa Valdellon; and Consultant for Business Development and Strategic Content Partnerships Reena de Guzman Garingan.
Attending for Viu Philippines were Deputy General Manager Vinchi Sy-Quia and Head of Content Partnerships Garlic Garcia alongside Viu PH Content and Marketing team.
Produced by GMA Public Affairs, The Write One sees the much-awaited team-up of Sparkle artists Ruru Madrid and Bianca Umali. A romantic drama with a touch of fantasy, it tells the story of Liam (Ruru), a frustrated man who is given a chance to rewrite his love and life story with the help of a mysterious typewriter. With the love between Liam and Joyce (Bianca) dimmed by the years that have passed, both wonder what could have been had they not given up their individual dreams. Until one night, Liam stumbles upon an antique typewriter and finds himself writing - and magically making real - the revised story of his life.
Multi-awarded actress and box-office icon Bea Alonzo and Kapuso Drama King Dennis Trillo banner the original drama Love Before Sunrise, set to be produced by GMA Entertainment Group. An epic love story, Love Before Sunrise brings to life the story of Atom and Tala and their humble beginnings from when they first met under the stars to becoming friends, lovers, and eventually ex-lovers while pursuing their dreams. A dramatic exploration of romantic desires and aspirations, the series will also be Bea and Dennis' first-ever drama series together.
Both The Write One and Love Before Sunrise, which are set to premiere this 2023, will be available in Viu Philippines 48 hours before their respective TV broadcast on GMA Network.
The Viu app is available on App Store, Google Play and select Smart TVs, as well as on the web at www.viu.com.
