The time has come for several young Kapamilya stars, who star in lead roles in upcoming ABS-CBN TV shows and movies.
The spotlight belongs to some fast-rising Kapamilya stars who will soon headline their respective movies and TV shows. Most of these stars are moving in their careers at an unprecedented pace, making them among the most promising artists to dominate the television and movie scene in the next few years.
New stars are on the rise, and with upcoming big projects already underway, the chance of being catapulted to greater fame now seems inevitable.
The viewer’s preferences have gradually leaned toward digital platforms as many of these new shows will find wider fame online.
ABS-CBN’s expansion to the streaming is to ensure the continuing rise of these young stars.
In 2021, among ABS-CBN’s biggest surprised hits are those starred by newly launched and relatively new artists.
The iWantTFC series, He’s Into Her, produced some of the year’s most talked-about newbies, including Jeremiah Lisbo, Criza Taa, Kaori Oinuma, among others. It has pushed further into the limelight, new love team, DonBelle, comprised of Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano, who both emerged with skyrocketing popularity, this year. The massive success of their show’s first season ensured that a season two is inevitable.
Pangilinan and Mariano’s box office power will be tested through their debut film that also stars the highly-promising Jeremiah Lisbo.
Love is Color Blind is set for a 2022 release, but the upcoming movie has been gathering so much attention, even this early. Lisbo will have the chance to impress ahead of the DonBelle film, with Love At First Stream, which marks the first time he starred in a film in a leading role. The Cathy Garcia-Molina-directed film is an official entry to the 2021 Metro Manila Film Festival. The film also stars Kaori Oinuma, Daniella Stranner, and Anthony Jennings.
When it comes to love and to your dreams, be UNSTOPPABLE!
