Netflix has now released the key art and additional photos for Outside, the streaming platform’s first zombie, psychological thriller from the Philippines.
At the center of the key art is the disheveled family patriarch, Francis (Sid Lucero) wielding a shovel as he buries something in the ground. The image conveys a feeling of unease, capturing how what was once familiar has become mere remnants of a distant, safer past. What remains are attempts to navigate a fragile and unstable reality, with secrets waiting to be uncovered.
The trailer closes with Francis appearing to burst through the title card and the slogan, “You can’t keep out what’s already inside,” and entering the chamber where Iris and Lucas are hiding.
During the Netflix APAC Southeast Asia Showcase in Indonesia, the director of “Outside” reveals that the film is more than just a zombie movie. The director describes it as a “terrifying psychological thriller.”

With Sid Lucero and Beauty Gonzalez in the lead roles, the horror film “Outside” is set for release on Netflix on October 17th.
“You can’t keep out what’s already inside.” This ominous line concludes the newly released trailer for Outside, Netflix Philippines’ first zombie feature. Directed by acclaimed TV commercial and content filmmaker Carlo Ledesma, the film promises to deliver a gripping psychological horror experience when it premieres on October 17.
The story follows a family of four led by its unstable patriarch, Francis (Sid Lucero). Together with his wife Iris (Beauty Gonzales) and sons Josh (Marco Masa) and Lucas (Aiden Tyler Patdu), they flee to Francis’s secluded farmhouse in the province to seek refuge and restore some semblance of normalcy back amidst a devastating zombie outbreak.

The trailer opens with a shot of a rundown car marked by a bloody handprint on the window, starkly symbolizing the family’s traumatic journey. It then transitions to scenes of the family attempting to adapt to their new haven, alongside glimpses of Francis’s growing paranoia. The tension builds as the trailer hints at the psychological and emotional struggles the family is about to face.
Speaking at Netflix APAC Southeast Asia Showcase in Indonesia in June, director Carlo emphasized that Outside is more than just a zombie film. For him, it’s a “terrifying psychological thriller” about the struggles of a family caught in the midst of a zombie pandemic. “At its core, it’s a film about a family’s survival,” he adds.
Carlo’s breakthrough in the horror genre came in 2011 with his found-footage film debut The Tunnel, followed by Sunod in 2019 and the horror-comedy short The Kapre. Carlo describes Outside as his most personal project to date, drawing inspiration from his experiences growing up in Negros and his own feelings of isolation during the pandemic, a period when the idea for the film began to take form.
Outside promises to shake up this October with its harrowing tale of survival in a desolate world riddled with more than just the undead. The film stars Sid Lucero, Beauty Gonzales, Marco Masa, and Aiden Patdu, with the special participation of Enchong Dee and Joel Torre.
Outside premieres globally on October 17, only on Netflix.

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.

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.

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.

A potentially disastrous conclusion to the epic Korean drama could result from the hint of a huge confrontation between humans, neohumans, and monsters.
“From the very beginning, I was you. I was always a part of you,” the monster within Hyun-su (Song Kang) eerily declares in the tension-filled trailer for Sweet Home Season 3 released today. Fans are left wondering which version of Hyun-su will prevail, and to what end.
In the third and final season of the iconic Korean monsterization saga, humans, monsters and neohumans prepare for the ultimate showdown.

Once allies, their paths diverged in the second season and now lead to a final face-off.
The trailer shows a glimpse of intense action between Hyun-su and Eun-hyeok (Lee Do-hyun) immediately after they are reunited. Yi-kyung (Lee Si-young) opens her eyes again after being consumed by a monster, while Eun-yu (Ko Min-si) and Chan-young (Jinyoung) desperately fight for survival. Meanwhile, Tak In-hwan (Yoo Oh-seong), Dr. Lim (Oh Jung-se), Kim Yeong-hu (Kim Moo-yeol), and Kid (Kim Sia) continue their individual journeys, each facing new battles.

The addition of new characters and cast members for Season 2 will surely bring fresh energy and perspectives to the series. It is crucial for the adaptation to stay true to the essence of the original characters while offering a unique take on them. Fans are always eager to see their favorite characters interpreted in new ways by talented actors.
The casting process for a show like “One Piece” must be a rigorous one, as the characters are so iconic and beloved by fans. The actors chosen to portray these characters need to not only resemble them physically but also capture their essence and personalities. A strong cast can elevate the source material and bring a new dimension to the live-action adaptation.
As more details are revealed about the new characters and cast members for Season 2 of the “One Piece” live-action series, fans will undoubtedly have mixed reactions. Some may be excited to see their favorite characters come to life, while others may have reservations about the casting choices. It’s important for fans to keep an open mind and give the new cast a chance to make their mark on the series.
It has long been known that One Piece Season 2 will continue the Arabasta Saga. These latest casting announcements virtually guarantee that the forthcoming season will likewise focus on two more compact manga arcs: Reverse Mountain and Little Garden.
Netflix hasn’t officially disclosed a lot about the eagerly awaited second season, aside from casting announcements. Not long after the debut of the live-action version, in September 2023, the show received a second season renewal. Season 2 is supposedly aiming for a 2025 premiere date.
