Plot

Make It with You was aired on ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida evening block every weeknights at 8:45 P.M. from January 13 to March 13, 2020 for a total of 45 episodes.[2]

Due to the community quarantines caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, the drama's tapings were put on halt and it's timeslot was replaced by reruns of On the Wings of Love from March 16, 2020 until the network ceased its free-to-air broadcast operations on May 5, 2020.[3]

Cancellation

On June 4, 2020, it was announced that Make It with You was among the series cancelled, along with Pamilya Ko.[4] This happened a month after ABS-CBN ceased its free-to-air broadcast operations on May 5, 2020,[5] due to the cease and desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and Solicitor General Jose Calida.[6] Director Theodore Boborol stated that "ABS-CBN was already badly hit by the pandemic, and then suffered a double blow when its renewal was not granted."[7][8]
