If you thought your school days were stressful, think again.
“Hell University”, the latest adaptation of the Wattpad mega-hit by KnightInBlack, is gearing up to show just how far “back to school” can go way past detention and bad cafeteria food.
Co-produced by Studio Viva and Webtoon Productions, the series is set to arrive on Viva One, promising violence, chaos, and well, maybe the occasional love story for those who err, survive.
The title actually says it all.
Hell University is a school beyond government oversight. No, it isn’t run by the devil himself but tuition and meals are free, which is nice. The catch? From 7 PM to 5 AM, everything is fair game in what the students call the Bloody Night. Yes, murder included.
The series follows a group of friends who stumble into this not-so-ordinary campus. Their main job: stay alive while navigating gangs, power struggles, and whatever else the school decides to throw at them. Think less extracurriculars, more extreme survival 101.
Front and center is Heart Ryan as Zein, a brave, strong-willed student ready to fight, fall, and protect her friends sometimes simultaneously.
Ryan has moved up from supporting roles in “Kurdapya” and “Da Pers Family” to a leading part here, showing she can carry a story and, apparently, dodge a few deadly encounters.
Opposite her is Zeke Polina as Ace Craige, the Supremo or Supreme Student Council President. Quiet, commanding, and not someone you want to cross, Ace doubles as both a love interest and a walking hazard.
Polina, previously seen in “Ang Mutya ng Section E”, finally gets a role where his presence is really made to matter.
Rounding out the ensemble are returning University Series veterans Lance Carr and Aubrey Caraan—aka “LanceBrey”—as Raze and Samantha, along with Andre Yllana, Gabbi Ejercito, Derrick Ong, Jac Abellana, and Jastine Lim.
Expect a mix of masked gang leaders, rule-breaking rebels, secret crushes, and hidden pasts, all colliding in a series that does not exactly reward the faint of heart.
So, if you ever wondered what college life would be like without rules, supervision, or common sense… “Hell University” is for you.
Soon on Viva One.
