When ABS-CBN and Dreamscape dropped the bombshell of Kathryn Bernardo and James Reid teaming up for a teleserye, social media went into overdrive. Within 24 hours, the announcement video racked up 3.5 million views, with fans calling it the “crossover of all crossovers.”
For years, Kathryn and James lived in parallel worlds—each carrying their own love team legacies. That’s why even Kathryn herself admitted the pairing took her by surprise. “I didn’t expect it. Maybe James didn’t expect it either,” she shared in an interview. “Who would have thought that after so many years, with us being part of different love teams, now he’s making a comeback too? It shows that anything is possible. It excites us.”
Excitement seems to be the word of the week, and not just for the fans. Kathryn hinted that the series will go beyond the usual teleserye fare. “This is very refreshing. I love the concept of this series. Out of all the stories that were presented, this one was something that I really wanted to do because it’s not just about a love story. It’s about friendship, family, and women.”
Details remain tightly guarded—no title, no plot, no full cast list yet—but the short video showing Kathryn and James during their look test was enough to fuel endless speculation and edits across X and TikTok.
The project marks a double comeback: Kathryn returning to primetime after “2 Good 2 Be True” in 2022, and James making his teleserye return since “Till I Met You” back in 2016.
For fans who grew up with their separate tandems, this unlikely partnership feels like the start of something new—one that’s already rewriting the rules of local screen pairings.
