Is Kathryn Bernardo about to team up with James Reid for a much-anticipated teleserye comeback?
That’s the buzz heating up online, as fans eagerly wait for ABS-CBN’s official announcement on Kathryn’s next leading man.
While the network has yet to confirm anything, strong speculation suggests that James Reid — who recently returned to ABS-CBN after years away from acting — is the top contender to star alongside Kathryn in her next drama series under Dreamscape Entertainment. If true, this would mark their first-ever on-screen partnership.
Kathryn, currently a judge on ‘Pilipinas Got Talent’, last starred in the series ‘2 Good 2 Be True’ with longtime screen partner Daniel Padilla. Meanwhile, James has been away from television acting since ‘Idol Philippines’ in 2019, shifting focus to music and entrepreneurship. His return is seen by many as a major move, especially if paired with Kathryn, one of the network’s most bankable stars.
Adding fuel to the excitement, fans noticed Kathryn’s image flashed during Dreamscape’s creative summit earlier this year — hinting at her return to the production unit behind ‘Mara Clara’, her breakout teleserye in 2010.
With online chatter at an all-time high, supporters of both stars are calling for unity — urging fellow fans to avoid bashing and comparisons, especially given the stars’ iconic past love teams: James with Nadine Lustre (JaDine) and Kathryn with Daniel Padilla (KathNiel).
One fan even quipped about the Kathryn-James link, noting that while Kathryn might be teaming up with James onscreen, she also recently appeared with Nadine on the May cover of Cosmopolitan Philippines.
As fans patiently wait for confirmation, some are hopeful this dream pairing signals a fresh start — not just for the stars, but for Philippine television. Until then, netizens are left guessing: Will James and Kathryn finally share the screen? Stay tuned.
