The deal, which marks the first-ever collaboration between GMA and Viu, will make available to Viu Philippines new Kapuso titles starting with “The Write One” and “Love Before Sunrise.” Both titles will premiere in 2023, and will be exclusively available on Viu Philippines hours before they are launched on GMA Network.
(L to R) Dennis Trillo and Bea Alozo for Love before Sunrise;
Bianca Umali and Ruru Madrid for The Write One
Produced by GMA Public Affairs, “The Write One” stars 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 Bea Alonzo and internationally acclaimed actor 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.
