A new era hits with a new chapter for ABS-CBN Studios-Dreamscape Entertainment’s hit action primetime series Roja, headlined by Donny Pangilinan and Kyle Echarri, as seen on Kapamilya Channel on ALLTV2, Pay TV, iWant, Netflix, Kapamilya Online Live, and A2Z.
And because of the explosive bagong yugto (transl. new era) trailer that gives viewers a glimpse of life-threatening challenges that Liam (Donny) and Olsen (Kyle) will have to overcome, especially since the hostage-takers added reinforcements and are now holding the victims captive at a hospital, the episode aired yesterday (January 27, 2026) set a new record in Peak Concurrent Viewers.
According to data from the most-subscribed YouTube Channel in the Philippines and Southeast Asia (with over 54.5 million subscribers as of January 28, 2026), the ABS-CBN Entertainment YouTube Channel, which is behind its live streaming service, Kapamilya Online Live, set Roja’s peak concurrent viewership record at 620,186. With a new era of Roja begins, Christian Vasquez, Iana Bernardez, Jeremiah Lisbo, Joel Molina, Mac Manicad, Miggy Campbell, and Paolo Serrano join the roster of cast members.
Roja premiered on television on November 24, 2025 (initially via Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, and TV5), three days after its Netflix premiere and two days after its iWant advanced premiere. For the new era that has set new heights for Kapamilya viewers, it may have just dropped another bombshell revelation after Greta (Lorna Tolentino), Liam’s mom, pieced together clues and is convinced that Liam and Olsen are actually brothers. Greta jumped to the conclusion after learning of her husband, Magnus’ (Raymond Bagatsing), affair with her best friend Wendy (Janice De Belen).
Liam, Olsen, and Luna’s (Maymay Entrata) seemingly peaceful lives will turn chaotic once more as the hostage-takers set up a new game plan and challenge the police force by attacking the hospital where the victims of La Playa Roja are currently staying.
The leader of the hostage-takers, Emil (Joel Torre), along with his allies, is in full force to take their revenge on the Rojas, and they will do everything in their power to bring back the lost ransom money that they took from the hostages.
Apart from Donny, Kyle, and all the other cast members mentioned in this post, Roja also stars Sandy Andolong, Robert Seña, Nikki Valdez, Cris Villanueva, Zia Grace, Bernard Palanca, Marc Abaya, Gello Marquez, Harvey Bautista, Lou Yanong, Kobie Brown, Benedict Cua, Iñigo Jose, Maika Rivera, AC Bonifacio, Emilio Daez, Xilhouete, Kai Montinola, Rubi Rubi, Sophie Reyes, Rikki Mae Davao, Inka Magnaye, Vangie Castillo, Levi Ignacio, Floyd Tena, Rans Rifol, Igi Boy Flores, and Raven Molina. It is directed by Lawrence Fajardo, Rico Navarro, Andoy Ranay, and Raymund Ocampo.
Roja airs on weekdays at 20:45 (Philippine Standard Time/UTC+8) after FPJ’s Batang Quiapo on Kapamilya Channel, ALLTV2, Cable, iWant, A2Z, Kapamilya Online Live, and Netflix, as well as on TFC via Pay TV Provider and via IPTV. The advanced streaming episodes for this series are also available via Netflix 72 hours in advance and on iWant 48 hours in advance (a Netflix and/or iWant subscription is required to access these advanced release episodes).
