ABS-CBN and Dreamscape Entertainment are bringing together two of the Philippines’ biggest stars, Kathryn Bernardo and James Reid, in a new series that will mark their much-anticipated television comeback.
Bernardo, who last headlined the hit 2022 series “2 Good 2 Be True,” earlier announced her return to primetime drama during the ABS-CBN International Trade Event. She shared her excitement about finally working on a new project, saying, “I’m excited to be back on TV with a story that really matters. This time, I want to do something different, something that speaks to women, to families, and to friendships.”
Now, that project has been revealed — a fresh pairing with Reid, who is making his teleserye comeback after “Till I Met You” in 2016. The collaboration has been dubbed by fans as the “crossover of all crossovers.”
“I didn’t expect it. Maybe James didn’t expect it either,” Bernardo said in an interview with “TV Patrol.”
“Who would have thought that after so many years, with us being part of different love teams, now he’s making a comeback too? It shows that anything is possible. It excites us,” she added.
Although details such as the title, plot, and other cast members remain under wraps, Bernardo hinted at what viewers can look forward to when taping begins.
“This is very refreshing. I love the concept of this series. Out of all the stories that were presented, this one was something that I really wanted to do because it’s not just about a love story. It’s about friendship, family, and women,” she explained.
The announcement was made on August 29 through a video showing Bernardo and Reid’s undeniable chemistry during a look test. The clip instantly went viral, amassing over 3.5 million views within 24 hours and sending fans abuzz on social media.

This marks the first time Bernardo and Reid will work together on a teleserye — the local term for Filipino television drama series, also referred to as P-drama — signaling a new chapter in both of their careers and in ABS-CBN’s slate of primetime offerings.
Kathryn Bernardo is one of the Philippines’ most bankable and acclaimed actresses. She rose to fame through teleseryes such as “Mara Clara” (2010) and “Princess and I” (2012). She solidified her status as a box-office queen with record-breaking movies like “The Hows of Us” (2018) with her former reel-and-real-life partner Daniel Padilla, and “Hello, Love, Goodbye” (2019) with Alden Richards. In 2024, she reunited with Richards for the sequel “Hello, Love, Again,” which is now the highest-grossing Filipino film of all time.
Meanwhile, James Reid is a Filipino-Australian actor, singer, and songwriter who first gained recognition after winning the reality show “Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Clash 2010.” He quickly became a household name through his successful love team with Nadine Lustre, starring in hit projects such as the teleserye “On the Wings of Love” (2015) and the film “Diary ng Panget” (2014).
After “Till I Met You” in 2016, Reid shifted his focus to music, founding his own record label, Careless Music, and building a reputation as a creative force in the industry. Known for his artistry and unique style, James has since expanded into international collaborations, solidifying his status as one of the most versatile and influential talents in Philippine entertainment.
