After months of anticipation, the award-winning alternative historical drama film The Kingdom will soon be available for streaming on Cignal Play.
The story is set in the Kingdom of Kalayaan, where Lakan Makisig (Vic Sotto) faces a looming succession dilemma—choosing which among his children, Magat Bagwis (Sid Lucero), Dayang Matimyas (Cristine Reyes), and Dayang Lualhati (Sue Ramirez), will inherit the throne.
Meanwhile, in the northern settlement of the kingdom lives Sulo (Piolo Pascual) with his grandfather, Lolo Kip (Soliman Cruz). From their perspective, the growing divide between the rich and the poor under Lakan Makisig’s rule becomes ever more evident.
Produced by MQuest Ventures, MZet Productions, and APT Entertainment, The Kingdom marks Vic Sotto’s first full-length drama role alongside Piolo Pascual. The film won 2nd Best Picture at the 2024 Metro Manila Film Festival, where it also bagged awards for Best Production Design, Best Visual Effects, and the Gatpuno Antonio J. Villegas Cultural Award.
It was also one of the festival’s top box-office earners, ranking third overall in the 2024 MMFF race.
Cignal Play is expected to announce the official streaming release date soon.
