Production
Development
In December 2022, executives of GMA Network and ABS-CBN were in discussions for a collaboration of a television series, with both companies casting their respective artists and the latter's production unit Dreamscape Entertainment developing the series.[3]
Filming
Principal photography commenced in January 2023.[97] In February 2023, casts and crew flew to Europe to film in Switzerland and Italy.[98][99]
In April 2023, Gardo Versoza was replaced by Romnick Sarmenta, after the former had a heart attack on March 28, 2023. Scenes featuring Versoza were eventually reshot with Sarmenta taking over the role.[7]
Release
The series' two episodes were released on Viu, iWantTFC and GMANetwork.com on May 27, 2023, ahead of its broadcast television debut.[100][101]
