Alden Richards is set to play a doctor in the upcoming Kapuso medical drama series, "Code Gray." 

According to Nelson Canlas' report on "24 Oras" Thursday, this is the first time the Asia's Multimedia Star will be playing such a character. 

"I've never done anything like that before sa career ko and it's gonna be the first again and I'm very excited kasi it's a very mature role. It's very serious, excited lang ako dun sa challenges that's up ahead," he said. 

The new year is bound to be busy and productive for Alden, who teased that he would be returning for the second season of a show he did last year. 

While he didn't name the show, it was in 2025 when he hosted the Kapuso reality dance competition "Stars on the Floor." 

"Actually may magbabalik na isang show na ginawa ko rin last year and it's gonna be our Season 2 so kahit hindi ko naman sabihin alam niyo na kung ano yun but we're very excited kasi at least it goes to show the first run did very well and was much appreciated by the audience," he said. 

Moreover, he is set to play a villain for the first time in the upcoming international film "Big Tiger." 

Alden had just returned to work following his holiday break in the United States where he also spent his 34th birthday. 

In December 2025, he held the "ARXV: Moving ForwARd" fan meeting in Laguna in celebration of his 15th anniversary in show business.
