Production
The series began pre-production in 2019 as Kahit Minsan Lang, with Bea Alonzo, Richard Gutierrez, Rafael Rosell and Christian Bables initially part of the cast and while Jameson Blake stays as an original cast along with Ana Abad Santos and Edu Manzano. Principal photography began in early 2020. However, it was temporarily halted due to the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In late June 2020, it was announced that Kahit Minsan Lang was cancelled.
On April 8, 2022, Star Creatives TV has confirmed the official main cast of A Family Affair.[8] The official trailer was released on May 26, 2022.
