Streaming giant Viu has officially introduced the complete ensemble for its highly anticipated Filipino original series, “Love, Siargao,” featuring a powerhouse pairing of top-tier local stars and international talent.
Following the initial announcement of Nadine Lustre and Alden Richards as the lead duo, Viu confirmed on Tuesday that the 26-episode series will also feature a diverse supporting cast. Joining the leads are Coleen Garcia, Kim Ji-soo, Kyline Alcantara, and South Korean actor Choi Bo-min.
The ensemble is rounded out by Gab Lagman, Kakki Teodoro, Adrian Lindayag, AZ Martinez, Vince Maristela, and internet personality Christopher Diwata.
Scheduled for a June 2026 premiere, the romance-drama explores the intersection of the “Siargao Curse”—a local myth suggesting visitors either never leave the island or are destined to find love. The story focuses on Jao (Richards), who is nursing a heartbreak, and Kara (Lustre), a woman seemingly bound to the island, as they navigate the complexities of a modern relationship.
“Set against the stunning backdrop of Siargao, the series brings together a mix of powerhouse talents, adding depth to a story that explores love, timing, and personal truths,” the streaming giant said in a release.
The project marks a historic milestone as the first on-screen collaboration between Lustre and Richards. Both actors previously dominated the entertainment scene as halves of legendary love teams—Lustre in “JaDine” and Richards in “AlDub”—before successfully transitioning into acclaimed solo careers.
Produced through a collaboration between Viu, Viva Entertainment, and GMA Network, “Love, Siargao” aims to showcase the natural beauty and culture of the Philippines’ premier surfing destination while delivering a grounded narrative on personal discovery.
The series will be available for streaming exclusively on Viu and will also broadcast on GMA-7.
