GMA Prime: Full throttle action unleashed
Kicking off the new year is GMA Prime's slate of action-packed stories, intriguing dramas, and popular fan-favorite programs.
Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes headlines "The Master Cutter," a pulse-pounding action series that explores the life of a humble tailor secretly living a double life. The series features a powerhouse cast led by Paolo Contis, Max Collins, Jo Berry, Shuvee Etrata, Charlie Flemming, and child star Sienna Stevens.
The adrenaline continues with "Never Say Die," which marks the first onscreen pairing of Star of the Next Gen Jillian Ward and Pambansang Ginoo David Licauco. The action-drama series unfolds in a world where truth is dangerous, justice comes at a price, and there's only one vow worth keeping: Never. Say. Die. The series also stars Jisoo, Raheel Bhyria, Angelu de Leon, and Raymart Santiago.
Meanwhile, intrigue and mystery take the spotlight in "The Secrets of Hotel 88," a gripping mystery drama featuring the stars from the first "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition," including Mika Salamanca and Brent Manalo, AZ Martinez, Ralph de Leon, River Joseph, Klarisse De Guzman, Esnyr, Xyriel Manabat, Josh Ford, Kira Balinger, Dustin Yu, Bianca de Vera, and Will Ashley. The series delves into the testing of blood ties and what happens when long-buried truths begin to surface.
Completing GMA Prime's lineup are medical drama "Code Gray," bannered by Asia's Multimedia Star Alden Richards, "Hari ng Tondo," with Primetime Action Hero Ruru Madrid, plus "Firewall," and "Whispers from Heaven." Fans can also look forward to more of "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre."
