Philippines’ programmer ABS-CBN has partnered with YouTube in a first of its kind initiative to develop and produce an original series that will stream exclusively on the video platform.

The new show, "How To Move On In 30 Days", will premiere on YouTube this year.  

The romantic comedy stars Maris Racal and Carlo Aquino in the story of a woman who is unceremoniously dumped by her ex-boyfriend and promises to move on within 30 days. 

The series is directed by Benedict Mique and Dick Lindayag. 

The new YouTube co-production is part of ABS-CBN’s ongoing initiative to recreate its fortunes following the loss of its broadcast business in 2020. 

The ABS-CBN Entertainment channel on YouTube has 38.1 million subscribers and 45 billion views in Southeast Asia.

Details of the agreement between ABS-CBN/YouTube for the production have not been disclosed.
