Background

Encantadia is a television series created by GMA Network in 2005, starring Filipino actresses Sunshine Dizon, Iza Calzado, Karylle and Diana Zubiri. The show had two follow-ups, Etheria (2005-2006) and Encantadia: Pag-Ibig Hanggang Wakas (2006), featuring the same lead cast. In 2016, the series was rebooted starring Filipino actresses Glaiza de Castro, Kylie Padilla, Gabbi Garcia and Sanya Lopez.[4][5]

The spin-off was announced on December 31, 2021, slated for a 2022 release[6]

The series will be written by Suzette Doctolero, who wrote the previous Encantadia series and will be directed by the same director, Mark A. Reyes with creative director, RJ Nuevas. Aside from Doctolero, former ABS-CBN's experienced screenwriter Ricky Lee, and writers Anna Aleta Nadela, Jake Somera, former ABS-CBN writer Ays de Guzman and program manager Ali Nokom-Dedicatoria are also a part of the production team.[7][8] Since 2023, Umali has been sharing training videos of moves that can be adapted for the show.
