In 2017, she had several TV appearances on GMA Network. But before going back to GMA Network this year, she played the role of First Lady Marissa Hidalgo in the longest running ABS-CBN Primetime Bida series, FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.
Family History is the comeback project both for GMA Pictures and Dawn Zulueta, as this is her comeback project with the network and the resurgence of the film outfit in producing films. It can be recalled that GMA Pictures was founded in 1995 by Jimmy Duavit and Butch Jimenez, and called it Cinemax Studios. After the international movie cable channel HBO made a separate movie channel called Cinemax, they started to call the production outfit as GMA Films.
