The GMA Network war-drama series ‘Pulang Araw’ has been extended for two more weeks, bringing its total run to 110 episodes.
Originally planned as a 100-episode series, the extension comes as the show continues to captivate viewers with its compelling narrative and stellar cast.
Suzette Doctolero, the series’ writer, took to social media to share the exciting news. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), she wrote: “Two weeks extended ang [Pulang Araw]. 110 eps. Salamat sa mga nanonood nito.”

Initially set to air its finale on December 13, the series will now run until the end of 2024.
Directed by Dominic Zapata, ‘Pulang Araw’ stars some of GMA Network’s brightest talents: Alden Richards as Eduardo, Barbie Forteza as Adelina, Sanya Lopez as Teresita and David Licauco as Antonio. The series also features the special participation of Kapuso Drama King Dennis Trillo, who portrays the villainous Japanese soldier Col. Yuta Saitoh in a groundbreaking anti-hero role.
Set during the Japanese Occupation, ‘Pulang Araw’ tells the story of four childhood friends whose lives are reshaped by war. The series explores themes of resilience, liberation, and hope while delving into the struggles and triumphs of Filipinos during one of the country’s most challenging historical periods.
