Headlining TV5’s new originals is A Secret in Prague, a romance thriller starring Enrique Gil and Andrea Brillantes. The series follows Mikoy, an ordinary guy who falls for a mafia boss’ daughter, forcing him to choose between protecting his own family or betraying the woman he loves.
Meanwhile, My Bespren Emman promises exciting action, topbilled by JM De Guzman, Shaina Magdayao, Ai-Ai Delas Alas, and Sid Lucero. JM plays a reformed ex-con seeking justice after being framed by a criminal gang, finding unexpected friendship along the way.

Joining him are Tony Labrusca, Ryan Agoncillo, Gelli De Belen, and Mylene Dizon in a heartwarming story that balances brilliance, empathy, and human connection.
The epic saga continues in The Kingdom: Magkabilang Mundo, expanding the world of the acclaimed MMFF 2024 film that reimagines our country had it never been colonized. Led by Piolo Pascual, Sue Ramirez, Cristine Reyes, Derek Ramsay, and Ryza Cenon, the series delves deeper into palace intrigues as Queen Sariyah’s reign is shaken by ancient bloodlines and power-hungry rivals.
Mystery and suspense collide in Project Loki, starring Marco Gallo, Jada Avanzado, and Dylan Menor.. Based on the hit Wattpad novel and produced by Studio Viva and Cignal Play, the series follows high school students drawn into a dangerous game of crime-solving and deception.
