Netflix has started talking about seven Philippines originals on its 2026 slate, pretty much bringing the market out of shadows cast by the better-loved markets of Korea, Japan, India, Indonesia and Thailand, and bringing ABS-CBN/Dreamscape into its production fold with romantic drama "Someone, Someday". 

Executive produced by ABS-CBN stalwarts Carlo Katigbak, Cory Vidanes and Laurenti Dyogi, "Someone, Someday" is directed by Chad Vidanes and Dolly Dulu.

The series is about the CEO of a dating app who unknowingly befriends someone out for revenge. No release date has been confirmed. 

This afternoon’s Philippines’ slate announcement lists five series and two feature films, kicking off on 9 April with director Dolly Dulu’s "18th Rose" –  the story of a spirited teen dreaming of the perfect debut who makes a deal with a lonely newcomer. 

Netflix’s second film – the Jodi Sta. Maria starrer, "Ganito, Ganyan, Ganoon", directed by Cholo H. Laurel – releases on 13 August. The film is about a TV writer who ignites chaos when she returns home to her estranged mother. 

Series kick off on 17 April with the Dominic Zapata-directed "The Master Cutter", about a former scout ranger–turned–tailor and secret man-hunter who takes in a street-smart girl and her guardian, and is then hired to hunt the girl down.

The second series – "Balaraw" (24 September) – stars Janine Gutierrez in a family mystery set on an uncharted island. The series is directed by Rae Red. 

"Paskong Pinoy" is set for a 3 December release. The anthology directed by Mark A. Reyes V features estranged friends, a snowy Christmas, office rivals and clashing sisters. Stars include Barbie Forteza. 

The final series is director Erik Matti’s "Buybust: The Undesirables", set in a lawless dystopian city where a vengeful ex-cop and a corporate outcast unite to confront a ruthless drug lord after a senator’s daughter is murdered.
