The network named Ivana Alawi as the new series’ leading lady, marking this as her first lead role. Following her signing with ABS-CBN, Iwana was slated to lead a different drama in 2020, but this was eventually pushed back due to the pandemic.
The lineup was announced during the Star Magic Trade Event for Advertisers on March 22. The event was held in a hybrid setup, with Alawi in presence while Anderson and Milby both participated virtually.
The network has yet to release details regarding the new teleserye, but Alawi, Milby, and Anderson simultaneously shared locked-in taping activities on their own social media accounts without revealing any context.
Her co-stars have also posted photos of the isolated production, teasing the show’s setting, which includes a beach.
Sameer, Mariam Sayed Marbella Al-Alawi, better known as Ivana Alawi, is a Filipino-Moroccan actress, model, and YouTuber. She is also the founder and CEO of her own skincare line, Ivana Skin.
She has starred in various acting projects since 2011 and her most recent were “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” in 2018 and “Mea Culpa: Sino Ang May Sala?” in 2019.
