Kumukutikutitap, bumubusibusilak. That is the best way to describe the roster of actors and actresses who will grace your screens when you watch Netflix’s first-ever Filipino holiday anthology, Paskong Pinoy.
There’s something about a Filipino Christmas that no imported special can quite capture. Think of the traffic that somehow feels worth it once you reach the house, the table that somehow fits one more person, the old friends who reappear after years, and the quiet realization that “home” isn’t always a place. Netflix Philippines is finally giving that feeling its own series with Paskong Pinoy, its first-ever holiday anthology, streaming November 26.
Directed by Mark Reyes and produced by Lucid Dreams Creatives, the four-episode series weaves together stories of a reunion in Boracay, an office romance, mistaken identities, and feuding sisters. Each one digs into love, family, second chances, and the particular way Filipinos do Christmas: long, messy, sentimental, and full of people who show up.

‘Tis the season for getaways, especially when there’s a meet-cute that makes your trip extra special! Join Francine Diaz and Seth Fedelin in their journey to some romantic twists and turns along the way.
Another episode, A Perfect Christmas, pairs Barbie Forteza and Enchong Dee as the holiday rush forces a workaholic to rethink what success and love actually look like.
The Last New Year in Boracay, brings back ’90s favorites Bobby Andrews, Angelu de Leon, Rica Peralejo, and more of the original T.G.I.S. barkada (the series Reyes himself directed decades ago). Watching that reunion feels less like casting and more like old friends finishing a conversation they started in the ’90s.
And of course, no Filipino celebration is complete without the joy (and occasional friction) of family gatherings and traditions. Kaila Estrada, JC Santos, Mika Salamanca, and Brent Manalo wrap a special gift for all of us in their episode of mistaken identities and feuding sisters.
The result is less “celebrity package” and more “everyone’s coming home for the holidays.” As we said, if anything is distinctly Pinoy, it’s Christmas. Paskong Pinoy leans into that instead of fighting it. No snowy mountain villages or generic mall carols. Just the traffic, the reconciliations, the office crushes that bloom under the lights, the sisters who still fight over the lechon, and the friends who finally make it to the same beach after years apart.
It’s the kind of warm, feel-good watch that fits between Noche Buena leftovers and the next round of monito-monita. Whether you grew up with the T.G.I.S. cast or you’re just here for Barbie and Enchong’s chemistry, the series understands that Filipino Christmas was never really about the decorations. It was always about the people who show up.
Catch the different tales of what makes our holidays truly Paskong Pinoy, only on Netflix starting November 26, 2026.

The stacked voice cast also includes Daniel Radcliffe, Young Mazino, Peter Dinklage, Bette Midler, and Damian Priest.
Balaraw’s official trailer gave viewers plenty to unpack ahead of the series launch, including dreams that leave our protagonist Sabina (Janine Gutierrez) with more questions than answers, an island that seemingly refuses to give up its secrets, and a taste of uncertainty (and danger) waiting for anyone who dares to set foot in Balaraw.

Here’s a closer look at what makes Netflix’s upcoming Original series Balaraw a must-watch, as well as some first look photos!
THE PEOPLE OFBABANG YAWA

The official trailer gave us an extended look into what awaits viewers on the island of Balaraw, and most especially, the community that calls it home. A tribe shrouded in mystery, with an uncommon way of life built into the very fabric of their DNA. It is a place with cryptic elements waiting as you venture deeper into the island. But their existence begs its own set of questions: what kind of lives do they lead, what roles do they play in Sabina’s search for her mother, and what are they willing to do to keep their community afloat and their secrets from surfacing?
SABINA’S CONNECTION TO THE ISLAND

Sabina is haunted by a pull of something she can’t quite explain. It was the very force that once pulled her mother away from the island, making her the only person to ever successfully leave. Now on her own quest for answers, Sabina is left questioning her mother’s decision to presumably return to the island, untangling mystery after mystery as she gets closer to her mother. What truths will she and the others uncover when they finally get there? And what will those truths mean for Sabina and her connection to the island?
AN ISLAND SHROUDED IN MYSTERY
Photos courtesy of Netflix
An island known to few and with its existence debated by many, Babang Yawa is seemingly cut off from the rest of the world—a place with its own community cloaked in mystery. Netflix’s Balaraw is for people who love a show that keeps you guessing and questioning what’s real. It will keep you glued to your screens as you join Sabina’s search for answers right up to the very end.
The island is calling.
Are you brave enough to answer?
Find out the secrets of Balaraw on October 29. Only on Netflix.
Still at the edge of your seat after watching Balaraw’s trailer? Our adventure to the island is just getting started. A mystery always leaves us wanting more. After pressing play on what Sabina’s story has in store for us, here are some questions that will certainly keep us tuned in to Netflix’s upcoming Original series:
1. Why can Sabina see Balaraw in her dreams?
In the trailer, Sabina’s mother asks if she still dreams about the island. This makes us wonder, has Sabina already gone to Balaraw before… or is her mind just playing tricks on her? We’ll just have to wait and see.
2. How did Rebecca leave?
Balaraw seems to be an island where people stay… except for Rebecca, that is. Of course, there’s a reason behind it that we’ll soon uncover as our characters’ arcs in Babang Yawa begin.
3. Is she dead?
You’ve all seen that jump scare! That begs us to ask this question that Sabina is also trying to figure out after years of searching for her mother—one of the many mysteries that we’ll unpack in the upcoming episodes.
4. Who are the people on the island?
The different scenes from the trailer feature people who have settled themselves into the island. There may be people like Rebecca who wanted to leave, but there’s also another side of the story that will soon unfold—what makes a person stay in Balaraw.
5. What lies ahead for those who come to Balaraw?
Like Sabina, we’re getting ourselves into an adventure as we explore the island in every episode. We all know that there’s always something more than meets the eye. So, whether you’re a sucker for mysteries, a lover of thrillers, or just a genre explorer, let your curiosity get the best of you and add Balaraw to your watch-list. It’s even just in time for the spooky season!
Years after her mother vanished without a trace, Sabina follows a single mysterious clue that pulls her toward a place most people have never heard of. What begins as a search for answers quickly turns into something far more personal and dangerous. On the island of Balaraw, the past isn’t just buried. It’s waiting. And the dark secrets she uncovers belong to her own family.
Directed by Rae Red, the eight-episode Netflix series blends mystery and thriller elements with the weight of Filipino folklore.
Janine Gutierrez leads as Sabina, bringing the kind of grounded intensity she’s known for. Agot Isidro and Charlie Dizon round out the core cast, creating a triangle of relationships that feels both intimate and fractured. The supporting ensemble adds further texture to the island’s closed community, where every face seems to carry a piece of the truth Sabina is chasing.
Produced as a Filipino original for Netflix, Balaraw arrives at a moment when local stories with global reach are gaining more attention. It draws on the country’s rich tradition of myths and island lore without treating them as simple set dressing. The result feels specific and lived-in rather than generically “exotic.”
The series premieres on Netflix on October 29, 2026.
There’s something quietly terrifying about the idea that power, money, and a carefully curated public image still can’t keep the people you love safe. That’s the cold truth at the center of Animals, the new crime thriller directed by and starring Ben Affleck, arriving on Netflix (and in select theaters) on October 9.

Affleck plays Mark Kimball, an LA mayoral candidate living what looks like the perfect life. He’s got the ambitious career, the beautiful home, and a wife, Abigail (Kerry Washington), who stands beside him through the grind of politics. Then their son is kidnapped. Suddenly the campaign trail, the glossy photos, and the carefully measured speeches don’t matter. What matters is finding the ransom money, while most of their resources are already tied up in the race for office.
What follows isn’t just a race against the clock. It’s a slow, bruising unraveling. Mark and Abigail are forced to make choices that dig into the private corners of their lives, the ones they never planned on anyone seeing. Secrets surface. Loyalties get tested. And the polished image of a political family starts to crack in ways that feel painfully human.
The supporting cast only deepens the tension. Gillian Anderson, Steven Yeun, and others orbit the Kimballs as the situation spirals, each bringing their own quiet intensity to a story that never lets you fully settle. Affleck, who also co-wrote the script, directs with a steady hand, leaning into the dread of ordinary people pushed into extraordinary, ugly decisions rather than relying on flashy set pieces.
Animals isn’t interested in easy heroes or tidy resolutions. It’s about what happens when the safety net you thought you had turns out to be thinner than you realized, and the people closest to you become the ones who have to decide how far they’re willing to go.
It lands on Netflix October 9. One night, one decision after another, and a family that may never look the same.
You have to admit—sometimes, the best plans are the ones that don’t require you to leave the house! You could be a bookworm itching to crack open a book from your TBR pile, someone who honors the sacred rituals of your “me time”, or simply an avid film (or series) buff just itching to press play on the next interesting title on your homescreen!
No matter what kind of viewer you are, Netflix is here to deliver.
So whether you’re in the mood to schedule a watch party with your friends, settle in comfortably on the couch with the whole family, or just want to step into make-believe worlds for an hour (or two!), there is something for you to stream this September on Netflix Philippines.
For the nine-to-fiver hoping to shake off a long day of work: Treat these titles as your much-awaited rewards for surviving the work days!

If you enjoyed watching her dive into her new role as Netflix’s C.H.I.K.A. (Chief Head of Insights and Kontent Analysis), the second episode is ready to keep the fun going. This time, Kris and her editor Earljohn return for another round of creative tweaks, putting their spin on more of our favorite local titles.
Halfway through her first day on the job, Kris turns her attention to Someone, Someday, Rekonek, Love You So Bad, and Unmarry. She transforms an offensive graffiti tag into something unexpectedly cute, finds a clever way to connect two characters dealing with signal problems, amps up a “run away with me” moment, and gives a dramatic shot a much-needed lift. The result? These series and films now carry that unmistakable Kris Aquino touch.
The leads, director, and other cast members welcomed press and content creators to the film’s exclusive media launch

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – August 12, 2026 – The table is set for a family reunion like no other! Netflix Philippines’ GANITO, GANYAN, GANOONheld its much-anticipated media launch at Casa Buenas, Newport Mall, bringing together leads Jodi Sta. Maria and Agot Isidro, and the film’s director and screenwriter, Cholo H. Laurel, for an afternoon of good food, heartfelt conversations, and the journey of finding one’s way back home.
Photo courtesy of Netflix
Leading the official launch were the leads and two of the biggest actresses in Philippine entertainment – Sta. Maria and Isidro – who described their characters and walked the audience through what it felt like to prepare for the drama-heavy film. Isidro, who plays Paz, shared: “I made a grand homecoming to a family I did something to in the past. I was an absentee mother. I was the one who really opened the wounds of the family.”
Photo courtesy of Netflix
Alongside her is Sta. Maria as Jo, a hyper-independent writer with big dreams: “Just when she thought she had it all together, biglang dumating ang isang ‘storm’ sa buhay niya sa katauhan ni Paz. Umuwi para manggulo. Paano siya ngayon mabubuhay sa presensya ng babaeng kilala niya bilang ‘ina’, pero hindi naman nagpaka-ina?” (“A ‘storm’ suddenly enters her life in the form of Paz, who comes home to turn everything upside down. How can she live with the woman she knows to be her ‘mother’, but who never truly acted like one?”)

Director Cholo H. Laurel, who makes his return to filmmaking with the movie after a 10-year hiatus, also talked about the value Netflix brought into the film and his creative process: “It was in 2018 when I felt that there was a chance to jump into the arena again. With Netflix — they had the proper budget, they had the proper organization. Inantay lang namin ‘yung tamang opportunity, kasi may requirement kami dito sa pelikula.” (“We waited for the right opportunity because we had a requirement for this film.”) That requirement meant bringing together the cast to play their respective characters in their location at Marinduque, with the majority of the scenes shot at Laurel’s home, Balai La-hi.

While packaged as a family drama, the creative team knew that it also had to highlight humor and show how moments of peace, no matter how rare, punctuate and coexist with the heavier ones—a true mark of a typical Filipino family. Laurel expands: “For drama to be effective as a tool, it has to be funny.”
The topic of forgiveness runs through the film’s themes and rightfully asks whether one can truly have closure, despite not getting it. What GANITO, GANYAN, GANOON adds to the conversation is its authenticity and fearlessness in exploring such familiar family dynamics. As one of the film’s writers, Laurel explains: “(The film) prescribes that we have to resort to proper communication. It requires only that. That you talk. That you expose the wounds. It does not prescribe you to do anything: it does not prescribe you to forgive, to say that this is good, that it is bad – no. It just tells you that this is the Filipino family; these are what relationships are like. You decide.” Isidro echoed this sentiment, sharing her belief that ‘peace’ is only possible when it comes from within—from oneself: “I just turned sixty, mas ngayon, parang for everyone, ayaw na natin ng bagahe sa buhay. Naiisip mo na that the healing and forgiveness ay nanggagaling sa sarili. It’s really an inner work.” (“Now, for everyone, we don’t want baggage. You realize that healing and forgiveness come from within yourself.”)
The media launch also treated the audience to an exclusive clip that revealed the chaos of what awaits viewers – one of the two pivotal scenes that happened at the dining table.
GANITO, GANYAN, GANOON is more than just a story about a family; it is a reflection of the universal yet deeply Filipino dynamics that shape our relationships with the people closest to us and asks us to reflect on what you bring to the table and what looms after you’ve left it. It is an invitation to look back home—even when you’d rather stay away—and asks us to sit with uncomfortable feelings and people, trying to understand what it means to remember the same wounds differently.
For Isidro, this means knowing that all of our experiences are valid, because it happened; for Sta. Maria, it is a matter of feeling for the character that truly reflects the experiences and stories closer to one’s own. Laurel expands on the film’s exploration of tentative truths and the concept of having no absolutes in this film—and in life: “Walang absolute na tama, walang absolute na mali. There is good, there is bad, and there is real. And then you piece together why this is happening. Lahat tayo may pinanggagalingan, lahat tayo ay tao lamang.” (“There is no absolute right or wrong. There is good, there is bad, and there is what is real. And then you piece together why things happen the way they do. We all have our own stories and our own reasons for being the way we are. At the end of the day, we are all only human.”)
Other cast members – Gabriel Lazaro and Ruby Ruiz – were also in attendance and looped viewers into what to expect from their characters. Lazaro has this to say about his character Matti: “He’s kind of a troubled guy. Throughout the film, he’s also trying to discover his identity, kind of reconnecting with this side of his family as well.” Ruiz plays Des, the loyal helper who represents the mostly silent companion who bore witness to the family’s complicated relationship, “Para na din nilang kamag-anak; na parang surrogate mother din ni Jodi. Dahil nga wala si Paz. Ako ‘yung nakakakilala ng husto sa pamilya, despite all the odds, despite all the imperfections.” (“I am like a family member; like Jodi’s surrogate mother. I know the family inside out, despite all the odds, and despite all the imperfections.”)
GANITO, GANYAN, GANOON officially joins the myriad of local titles in and produced by Netflix Philippines, proudly bringing Filipino narratives that many people from around the world can experience through their screens. Sta. Maria has this to say about that experience: “Now, they get to see us. The Filipino people. A glimpse into our culture. Who we are as a people and as a nation. ‘yung great talent na meron ka.” (“The great talent that we have.”)
The afternoon brought together an intimate group of over 70 media professionals, special guests, and content creators to celebrate a story about family, forgiveness, and finding one’s way back home—an invitation to look beyond the narrative and see pieces of themselves in its characters, just a day before the film’s official launch on the platform.
Netflix Philippines just dropped a fun promotional campaign today (August 7, 2026) introducing Kris Aquino as its official C.H.I.K.A. — Chief Head of Insight and Kontent Analysis. It’s a playful, fictional role that leans hard into her iconic “chika” (gossip/candid commentary) style.
In the video, she steps into an editing room on her “first day,” delivering signature honest-to-goodness critiques of Filipino titles currently streaming on the platform (including A Secret in Prague, Blood vs Duty, and The Master Cutter). She requests bigger, colder winter vibes, bonggang visual upgrades, and her usual flair — then stamps the enhanced clips “Kris Aquino approved.” “Ano itong pasabog ni madam?! … with some bonggang upgrades to local shows, Krissy style.”
The campaign is planned as a three-episode series, with the next drops on August 14 and 20.
Fans are loving the pure Kris Aquino way, over-the-top title, the pajama job-application teaser earlier in the day, and that unmistakable delivery. Classic Queen move.

During its opening weekend in the Philippines, the film garnered approximately $4.2 million (PHP 238 million)—making it the biggest anime opening of all time in the country, outperforming blockbusters across genres including horror and superhero titles.

Netflix’s upcoming Korean romantic comedy series Our Sticky Love has released its main poster and trailer, offering a charming first look at the sticky, sweet romance between an amnesiac prosecutor and a small-town boxing coach. The series premieres August 7, exclusively on Netflix.
Photo courtesy of Netflix
Starring Ha Young as Go Eun-sae and Jung Hae-in as Jang Tae-ha, the show follows Eun-sae, an ambitious prosecutor who wakes up in a rural hospital with complete memory loss. She finds herself in the quiet Taffy Village (Yeot Village) in Gujin-gun, where Tae-ha, a former boxing champion turned local coach, calmly claims to be her boyfriend. What begins as a bewildering arrangement quickly turns into cohabitation filled with quirky chemistry, fish-out-of-water comedy, and underlying secrets.
The main poster captures the pair’s tangled dynamic perfectly: Eun-sae grips Tae-ha by the collar with a pout, while her prosecutor ID and swirling luxury items contrast with their rural setting. The tagline “Sweetly tangled. Hopelessly stuck!” nods to the series’ central metaphor of traditional Korean taffy (yeot) sticky, sweet, and impossible to pull away from once you’re caught.
In the trailer, Eun-sae’s confusion is front and center. The quiet village lined with traditional taffy shops and its peculiar residents feel alien to her big-city sensibilities, and Tae-ha’s scruffy appearance is a far cry from her usual type. She struggles to trust a word he says. Yet his steady warmth and earnest admiration gradually chip away at her defenses. Sweet lines and gentle affection leave her flustered and smiling, even as Tae-ha warns that no one can find out about them, hinting at deeper mysteries surrounding why she’s safest by his side and what truly binds them together.
Director Kim Jang-han describes the series as “a heart-warming, feel-good romantic comedy” about building a love that sticks “as tightly as sticky, sweet Korean taffy.” The irresistible charm, he promises, will leave viewers unable to pull themselves away.
With Jung Hae-in’s easy charm and Ha Young’s sharp comedic timing, Our Sticky Love looks set to deliver the perfect blend of heart, humor, and just the right amount of mystery.
Mark your calendars, the series streams August 7, only on Netflix.
Netflix has officially unveiled the trailer for Ganito, Ganyan, Ganoon, the streaming platform’s biggest Filipino comedy-drama film for 2026—giving audiences a peek into the flawed relationship of Joanne (Jodi Sta.

At the Next on Netflix Philippines event held in February, Agot shared how the story can be relatable to the Filipino audience. “[We] Filipinos are very family-centric, so I really think we’re reaching out to our audience.”
For Director Cholo Laurel, the dramedy genre blend captures the nature of a real family. “If you look closely, drama is actually hilarious—especially family drama. The topics that we’re discussing here are already inherently heavy, so we wanted to lighten it up a little bit.”

Ganito, Ganyan, Ganoon offers the viewers a truthful take on how filial love and family can make, break, and shape your dreams and decisions in life—making you laugh and cry through it all.
‘Ganito, Ganyan, Ganoon’ will premiere globally on August 13. Only on Netflix.

The newly unveiled artwork features an extended Filipino family gathered on a scenic beach, presenting what appears to be a picture-perfect family portrait while hinting at the emotional complexities that lie beneath the surface.
Directed by Cholo H. Laurel, Ganito, Ganyan, Ganoon follows Joanne “Jo,” portrayed by Sta. Maria, a television writer on the verge of a career-defining opportunity whose life is upended by the unexpected return of her estranged mother. Forced to confront unresolved childhood trauma, Jo embarks on an emotional journey that explores family, forgiveness, and self-discovery.
Reflecting on her character, Sta. Maria described Jo as “accomplished,” “intelligent,” and “very strong,” adding that the story ultimately asks what shaped her into the person she has become.

Opposite Sta. Maria is Agot Isidro as Paz, Jo’s strong-willed mother whose return from decades of living in New York sets the story in motion. As long-buried secrets gradually unfold, Paz’s past becomes central to the emotional conflict between mother and daughter.

Beyond its emotional core, the film explores the unique dynamics and imperfections of Filipino families, highlighting how shared experiences of love, conflict, misunderstandings, and reconciliation continue to shape relationships across generations.
Speaking during the Next on Netflix Philippines event in February, Laurel credited Netflix for allowing the project to remain true to its creative vision.
“They were willing to give it the creative freedom that we needed to be able to stay faithful to the vision,” he said.
Joining Sta. Maria and Isidro is an ensemble cast that includes Gabriel Lazaro, Gardo Versoza, Ruby Ruiz, RK Bagatsing, Mitch Valdez, and Angel Aquino.
Ganito, Ganyan, Ganoon promises an intimate yet relatable portrait of a Filipino family navigating love, resentment, laughter, and regret—emotions that coexist as they rediscover one another despite years of distance.
The film premieres globally on Netflix on Aug. 13.

A new action-drama series is taking on one of South Korea’s most pressing social issues: the erosion of authority in schools amid rising bullying, unruly students, and overbearing parents.

The bureau steps in where conventional systems fail, delivering “true lessons” to those who cross the line, whether delinquent students, toxic parents, or corrupt educators. The series promises intense, cathartic storytelling that blends high-stakes action with emotional depth, tackling school violence and systemic failures head-on.
Adapted from the popular webtoon Get Schooled, Teach You a Lesson has quickly climbed Netflix charts, resonating with audiences worldwide for its raw portrayal of school issues and satisfying vigilante-style interventions. It has even sparked real-world discussions about teacher protections in South Korea.
Audiences around the world have praised the series for its gripping action, compelling storytelling, and thought-provoking themes. In addition to standout performances from Kim Mu-yeol, Lee Sung-min, Jin Ki-joo, and Pyo Ji-hoon, the supporting cast has also earned widespread attention for bringing emotional depth and intensity to the story.

Park Eun-bin stars as Eun Chae-ni, Haeseong City’s charming but chaotic “biggest trainwreck,” who gains the power to teleport in a hilarious blur.
Cha Eun-woo plays Lee Woon-jung (or Un-jeong), a socially awkward, rule-obsessed civic servant hiding a mysterious telekinesis ability.
Choi Dae-hoon as Son Kyung-hoon, the ultimate complainer whose sticky superpower turns everyday life into slapstick comedy.
Im Seong-jae (Ro-bin) brings unpredictable destructive powers that leave nothing but glorious mayhem in his wake.
Rounding out the ensemble are veterans Kim Hae-sook and Son Hyun-joo, adding warmth, wisdom, and a touch of darkness to the neighborhood crew.
As rising evil threatens their peaceful city and doomsday fears grip the public, this band of oddballs must figure out how to be heroes while barely managing not to destroy everything around them first.
