Following the success of its first season, Kapuso action star Ruru Madrid is set to make his highly anticipated return to primetime with the second season of ‘Lolong: Bayani ng Bayan.’
The series is expected to go head-to-head once again with Coco Martin, who currently leads ABS-CBN’s ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.’
‘Lolong’ captivated audiences during its debut season in 2022, quickly becoming one of the highest-rated shows of the year, according to AGB Nielsen Philippines. Fans eagerly followed the adventures of ‘Lolong’ and his giant crocodile companion Dakila as they fought for justice and unity.
In Season 2, Ruru will continue his journey as Lolong, facing new threats and hidden enemies in the quiet town of Tumahan.
As ‘Pulang Araw’ nears its end, GMA Network is set to fill the timeslot with ‘Lolong: Bayani ng Bayan,’ setting the stage for a renewed ratings battle between Kapuso and Kapamilya networks.
This brings Ruru Madrid back into direct competition with ABS-CBN’s primetime king Coco Martin, now starring in ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo,’ a major hit following Coco’s iconic run in ‘FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.’
With both shows competing for primetime viewership, 2024 promises an exciting showdown in Philippine television. Fans can look forward to a more intense and action-packed story as Lolong faces new adversaries and takes on the challenge of keeping peace in Tumahan.
