The official Season 2 description reads:
“Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 remains determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport. Using this fortune to fund his search, Gi-hun starts with the most obvious of places: look for the man in a sharp suit playing ddakji in the subway. But when his efforts finally yield results, the path toward taking down the organization proves to be deadlier than he imagined: to end the game, he needs to re-enter it.”
It follows Squid Game, which premiered on September 17, 2021, and became a global success, accumulating over 1.65 billion viewing hours in 28 days and attaining 111 million accounts, becoming Netflix’s first series to surpass 100 million users at debut.
The second season of the show, written, directed, and executive produced by Hwang Dong-hyuk, picks up following Seong Gi-hun’s (Lee Jung-jae) “jaw-dropping decisions” at the end of Season 1. It will follow the hero as he abandons his plan to travel. Instead, he starts a hunt with a serious purpose. New players include Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-Neul, Park Sung-hoon, and Yang Dong-geun, as well as Park Gyu-young, Jo Yu-ri, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, Lee Jin-uk, Choi Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won, and Won Ji-an. Season 3 is expected to be shot back-to-back with Season 2, allowing Netflix to release it in 2025, a far shorter wait for viewers than the three years between the first two seasons. Firstman Studio produces the series, with Kim Ji-yeon also serving as an executive producer.
Netflix has just unveiled a trailer for its highly anticipated Filipino film “Lolo and the Kid,” featuring the talented Joel Torre and the rising star Euwenn Mikael Aleta from “Firefly.”
A video captures the duo swiftly leaving a residence, likely after committing a theft, as other footage reveals them in different attire during the night, carrying away numerous bundles of items. Beyond the usual routines, the characters seem to relish their moments of togetherness, whether it’s visiting an amusement park, spending time at the beach, or exploring thrift stores.
Joel’s character, as the grandfather, appears to be unable to fulfill this responsibility. Joel’s character immerses himself in a captivating tale, while a clip shows Kid encountering an unfortunate accident. This leads to a series of clips showcasing the duo enjoying each other’s company, highlighted by a heartwarming rendition of Kenny Rogers’ “Through the Years.”
The trailer revealed brief appearances from Markki Stroem, Meryll Soriano, Joem Bascon, Shaina Magdayao, and Alfred Vargas, along with a special participation from JK Labajo.
The two main characters share their feelings for each other on a bus ride, and the title card appears as they strike a pose with sunglasses in Manila, accompanied by the song “Through the Years” playing in the background. The film is helmed by Benedict Mique. “Lolo and the Kid” will be available to stream on Netflix worldwide starting August 7.
Netflix’s “Bridgerton” will delve into the romantic journey of Benedict Bridgerton, a perennial bachelor played by Luke Thompson. Having been less prominent in recent seasons, Benedict is poised to emerge as the next Bridgerton sibling to find their soulmate. The season continues with Benedict’s search for a mysterious woman he encounters at a masquerade ball. Little does he know, she is actually Sophie Beckett, a woman from a humble background.
Netflix has officially confirmed that Benedict’s love interest remains unchanged, and it is the same woman. Get ready for an exciting new season of “Bridgerton”! Season 4, as it will reveal the transition of Benedict’s to the lead role, which is a significant development considering his previous three seasons on “Bridgerton,” where he played a supporting character.
Following the exciting news of Bridgerton’s Season 4 renewal, fans have been eagerly anticipating the announcement. At this time, we have no further details to share on the start of production or returning, other castmates and premiere date are yet to be disclosed, as of press time. Welcome to the marriage mart, Benedict!

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – July 10, 2024 – On Tuesday, July 9, 2024, Netflix Philippines ramped up promotions for PULANG ARAW, the country’s biggest historical series of 2024, with a star-studded event at The Peninsula Manila Hotel attended by celebrities, press, content creators, and VIPs. Lead stars Barbie Forteza, Sanya Lopez, David Licauco, and Alden Richards seized the spotlight to celebrate the occasion, accompanied by the supporting cast who also graced the red carpet.

Donned in their 1940s garb from the show, the main cast gave the guests a preview of what to expect in PULANG ARAW and their characters. Speaking to the audience, Alden, who plays Eduardo dela Cruz, shares that the project has been a long-awaited endeavor for him and the production team, “Nabanggit na po ito sa akin ng aking boss na si Ms. Annette (GMA Executive Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes, President of GMA Films and GMA Worldwide) sampung taon na ang nakakalipas.” (“This was mentioned to me by my boss, Ms. Annette, ten years ago.”) He also emphasized how profound the impact of the story is in showcasing the experiences and reality during that sensitive period, which he feels many from this generation are unaware of, “I think this is the most relevant and most important story of 2024.”

Barbie, playing the character of bubbly Adelina dela Cruz, appreciates that they were able to spotlight vaudeville in Pulang Araw, taking it as the perfect metaphor for finding joy in the midst of difficulties. “Kahit sa buhay, kahit na anong kinakaharap mong problema at paghihirap, lahat ‘yun ay kakalimutan mo, kasi the show must go on,” (“Even in life, no matter what hardships you face, you’d forget them all, because the show must go on.”)

Sanya feels that the narrative was shaped by the experiences of Filipinos who went through that hardship during World War II, “Ito ay pagbabalik tanaw. (…) Itong kwento ay hindi para ibalik sa kanila ‘yung sakit, kundi ipalinaw sa bagong henerasyon kung sino ‘yung mga dapat bigyan natin ng respeto at kung bakit tayo dapat magpasalamat sa kalayaang merong tayo ngayon.” (“This is a look back. This story doesn’t aim to rekindle the pain, but to remind the new generations of those to whom we owe the gratitude for the freedom we enjoy today.”) This sentiment was shared by Alden, “‘yun ‘yung isa sa mga pinanghahawakan ko din. Magbalik tanaw sa kung sino ba ang tumulong sa’ting makamit ‘yun. (“It’s one of the things I treasure most in this series: looking back on the people who contributed to that freedom.”)While doing it (the show), it makes me more proud to be a Filipino.”
Because of how heavy the subject is, Alden shared that he struggled to detach himself from the more heavy scenes, especially since he views it as a way of honoring the people who fought and survived for the country’s freedom, “I consider this project as my most important project. It’s a legacy that we’ll be telling—the untold legacy of Filipinos during World War II.” The sentiment was echoed by Barbie, “Ngayon ko lang naranasan ‘yung ganto sa show; nadadala mo talaga siya pagkatapos, so kelangan mo talaga ng few minutes to really shake it off eh, kasi pabigat talaga ng pabigat ‘yung mga nangyayari.” (“This is the first time I’ve experienced something like this; you carry it with you even after filming wraps, so you need a few minutes to really shake it off because of how heavy the scenes are.”) What helped, according to her, is how detailed their scripts are and how they allowed her to stay in character, understand Adelina’s depth, and grasp that period better.

For David, who plays a Japanese character named Hiroshi Tanaka, his character’s internal conflict is one of the most interesting things about him, “It’s a battle of the brain and battle of the heart. And pinaka-conflict niya is kung pipiliin niya ba ‘yung bayan niya o ‘yung minamahal niya, which is Adelina.” (“His biggest conflict is choosing between his country or his loved one, which is Adelina.”)
Sanya believes her character Teresita is the “embodiment of courage and survival”. “Para sa akin ‘yun ‘yung katangian ng isang magiting na babae, na hindi lang noong panahon ng mga Hapon o ng digmaan, kundi sa panahon ngayon ng mga makabagong Teresita. Na patuloy lumalaban sa mga pagsubok, sa mga panga-abuso, sa pangmamaliit. Na lumalaban para sa kanilang karapatan,” (“For me, that’s the main characteristic of a brave woman, not only during that period, but even today, a time of modern-day Teresitas. They continue to fight the challenges, the abuse, and the oppression. They fight for their rights,”) She also shared her privileged experience of conversing with actual comfort women as part of the preparation for the role, which added a profound layer to her portrayal.

Fresh from the success of another historical series which cemented their love team, Barbie and David, more popularly known as BarDa, talked about their experiences working together again in Pulang Araw. For David, one particular scene made him realize how different Barbie is in this show, “‘yung iksena na nag-I love you ako kay Barbie, dun ako may nakitang kakaiba. Napakagaling ni Barbie Forteza bilang aktres.” (“The scene where I told Barbie I love her, I saw something different there. Barbie Forteza is a brilliant actress.”). On the other hand, Barbie not only commended him for his Japanese-speaking skills but also applauded David for the growth in his passion for acting, “Natutunan niyang mahalin ‘yung craft. (…) Ibang David Licauco po talaga ang mapapanood natin dito, and I’m just very proud of him.” (“He learned to love the craft. (…) We’ll get to see a different David Licauco here, and I’m just very proud of him.”)

With vaudeville being a crucial element of the show, especially for the lead actresses, both Barbie and Sanya detailed their most unforgettable filming moments for these scenes, “Tap dance classes, bago pa man magsimula ang taping. Ang saya ng experience kasi sobrang lapit sa puso ko si Sanya.” (“Tap dance classes, even before we started filming. The experience was fun because Sanya is someone I hold close to my heart.”) Sanya was equally enthused with the experience, cherishing the moments she spent training with Barbie, “Kumakanta habang nagta-tap dance—umaarte habang nagta-tap dance. (…) Masarap sa feeling na meron kaming bagong natutunan para sa palabas na ito.” (“Singing while tap dancing—acting while tap dancing. (…) It’s a great experience to learn something new for this show.”)
Alden traces Eduardo’s transformation into an indomitable man to his primary motivation—love. The love for his dreams, his family, the person he wants to pursue, and for friendship. “Lahat tayo ay may ganon eh; lahat tayo may gustong ipaglaban sa buhay at gagawin natin ang lahat para makamtan ‘yun.” (“All of us have something like that; all of us have something we want to fight for and we’ll do everything that we can to achieve it.”)
To conclude the press conference, the supporting cast composed of Sef Cadeyona, Aidan Veneracion, Neil Ryan Sese, Jay Arcilla, Ashley Ortega, Mikoy Morales, Rochelle Pangilinan-Solinap, Angelu de Leon, and Epy Quizon headed to the stage to introduce their characters and hint at their relationships with the main cast, teasing viewers with their intriguing connections.
The day ended with a screening of the pilot episode, followed by a teaser that revealed what viewers can expect in the upcoming episodes.
Nearly 200 representatives from various media outlets across the country, content creators, GMA Network representatives, as well as VIPs directly involved in the show’s production took part in this celebration.

Character posters for Season 4 of The Umbrella Academy have been unveiled. The forthcoming fourth season, scheduled to premiere on Netflix on August 8th, will mark the final season of the show.
The Hargreeves siblings have scattered after the climactic showdown at the Hotel Oblivion led to a complete reset of their timeline. Stripped of their powers, each is left to fend for themselves and find a new normal — with wildly varying degrees of success.
Yet the trappings of their uncanny new world prove too hard to ignore for very long. Their father Reginald, alive and well, has stepped out of the shadows and into the public eye, overseeing a powerful and nefarious business empire. A mysterious association known as The Keepers holds clandestine meetings believing the reality they’re living in is a lie and a great reckoning is coming. As these strange new forces conspire around them, the Umbrella Academy must come together one last time — and risk upsetting the shaky peace they’ve all endured so much to secure — to finally set things right.

Netflix greenlit Cashero, a series that redefines the superhero genre with a realistic twist. This series, inspired by the widely acclaimed webtoon of the same name, chronicles the life of Kang Sang-woong, an ordinary man whose superpowers grow with his financial means. The series uniquely combines heroism with a candid exploration of socio-economic challenges, engaging audiences with its inventive plot and relatable characters.
Global star Lee Jun-ho (King the Land, The Red Sleeve) takes on the role of Sang-woong, a former civil servant whose new powers are tied to his wealth, adding a layer of complexity to his dream of a better life. His transformation into this relatable hero is highly anticipated by fans.
Kim Hye-jun (Kingdom, Inspector Koo, Connect, A Shop for Killers) plays Min-sook, Sang-woong’s analytical girlfriend who evaluates the feasibility of his superpowered endeavors, providing steadfast support despite her reservations about his self-funded heroics.
In a dual showcase of talent, Kim Byong-chul portrays Byun Ho-in, a lawyer whose superpower emerges with alcohol consumption and who leads the Korean Superhero Association. He enlists Sang-woong to fight against a secretive anti-superhero coalition. Alongside them is Kim Hyang-gi as Bang Eun-mi, whose powers activate with calorie intake. Known as Bbang-mi, she is fearless and occasionally blunt, proving to be an invaluable ally in their mission.
Directed by Lee Chang-min (Agency, Welcome to Waikiki) and written by Lee Jane and Jeon Chan-ho (Sisyphus: The Myth), Cashero is set to captivate Netflix audiences with its fresh take on superhero dynamics and down-to-earth characters.
