The Loyalty Game, one of the ABS-CBN Studios and Star Creatives-produced offerings that dropped on Prime Video back in July 2026, will level up with more new scenes and untold stories to uncover via iWant 7 days in advance, beginning on September 28, 2026, and on-air on October 5, 2026.
The Kapamilya series offers a fuller and richer viewing experience that features additional scenes, extended storylines, and character backstories not seen on Prime Video, similar to past original series that were later released on-air, such as Linlang: The Teleserye Version, Saving Grace: The Untold Story, and The Alibi: Ang Buong Katotohanan.
Directed by Mae Cruz-Alviar, Ian Loreños, Raymund Ocampo, and Cathy Garcia-Sampana, The Loyalty Game was among the most-watched series on Prime Video Philippines since its premiere, with its cast earning praise for portraying complex and challenging characters. It is also among the offerings of ABS-CBN Studios to release on Prime Video, including The Silent Noise, Love Is Never Gone, and the most recent Honor Thy Mother.
Headlining the series were Jericho Rosales and Janine Gutierrez, who will play a married couple, Ben and Ana. Their seemingly stable relationship begins to unravel when a test of loyalty exposes dangerous secrets. Jericho shared, during a media conference, that the on-air version of the series will reveal more layers of the characters and their relationships not seen on Prime Video.
There would be more twists, and the plots and backstories are fleshed out. Mas magandang viewing pleasure, he said.
Janine also added that The Loyalty Game: Level Up will finally reveal who the loyalty testers are, whose stories left audiences with questions after watching the Prime Video counterpart of the series.
Maraming madadagdag na scenes sa loyalty testers. Excited akong mapanood sila. Ang daming nagtatanong anong nangyari sa kanila, so ’yung mga nakapanood sa Prime, masasagot ’yung questions nila, she shared.
Jay Fernando, the creative manager behind the series, stated that the longer version gives audiences even more time with the characters, offering new context and a deeper understanding of their choices and motivations.
Also joining the series is Charlie Dizon as Ben’s sister, Regina, and Maika Rivera and Kira Balinger will serve as the loyalty testers. Among the remaining casts for the series were Sofia Andres, Yassi Pressman, Yen Santos, Elisse Joson, Karina Bautista, KD Estrada, Robbie Jaworski, Alyanna Angeles, and Carmina Villarroel, with veteran actors Carlitos Siguion-Reyna, Bernard Palanca, Desiree del Valle, and Pilar Pilapil.
The Loyalty Game: Level Up premieres on October 5, 2026, at 21:30 (after Someone Someday), on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, ALLTV, A2Z, TV5, and The Filipino Channel (TFC). iWant subscribers may watch the series seven days ahead of the on-air broadcast.
Meanwhile, Joshua Garcia and Julia Barretto are heading to London and Madrid for the European special screenings of their forthcoming Cathy Garcia-Sampana-directed Star Cinema film, Always Yours Never Mine, scheduled to release across all Philippine cinemas on September 30, 2026.
Apart from the Philippine release of the film, Star Cinema said that it is also set to reach global audiences in parts of the Americas, the Arab World, Europe, and Oceania, in October and November.
The premise of the romantic-drama film, which spans three decades, follows Apollo (Joshua) and Luna (Julia)’s lives to intersect at different points in time. Each reunion presents a choice, with every decision shaping the paths they take and the lives they leave behind.
Feeling ko kailangan natin ito, yung mga ganitong entertainment. Kailangan nating huminga; I think ito yung hinga natin. I hope maraming maka-relate at makasabay sa characters nina Apollo at Luna (I feel like we need this kind of entertainment. We need to take a breath and enjoy a story like this. I hope many can relate to the characters of Apollo and Luna), Joshua Garcia welcomed the film and hoped its story and characters will resonate with audiences.
[It’s about] your willingness to give your heart to somebody else who can’t give theirs back to you, co-lead star Julia Barretto further reflects the act of giving one’s heart to someone who cannot fully reciprocate that love.
Apart from the Philippine release of Always Yours Never Mine, it is scheduled to be released in the Arab World (Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates) and Oceania (Australia and New Zealand) on October 22, 2026; in the Americas (United States, Canada, and Guam) on October 23, 2026; and in several countries in Europe, including the United Kingdom and Austria on October 31, 2026; and Spain, France, and Italy on November 1, 2026.
The lead stars will also head to the Genesis Cinema in London and the Palacio de la Prensa Cinema in Madrid for a special screening and meet-and-greet sessions, taking place on the day of the film’s release in each country (at 10:00 and 13:00 for the UK screening, and at 13:00 and 18:00 for the Spain screening).
