In another historic collaboration, ABS-CBN’s film production outfit Star Cinema and GMA Network’s film production company GMA Pictures are teaming up for the first time to produce “Hello, Love, Again,” the highly anticipated sequel to Philippines’ blockbuster hit “Hello, Love, Goodbye.”

ABS-CBN star Kathryn Bernardo and GMA Network artist Alden Richards will be reprising their well-loved characters, Joy and Ethan, in “Hello, Love, Again.”  Box-office hit film director Cathy Garcia-Sampana, who helmed the original film, returns to direct the sequel that will be shot in Canada.

The film’s theatrical release begins on November 13, 2024 in the Philippines, with international releases following thereafter.

For many years, Star Cinema has been telling heartwarming stories of Filipinos and shedding light on the realities of Filipinos living and working abroad through silver screen features. Among its remarkable films from the past decades are “Anak (The Child), ” “Barcelona: A Love Untold,” “Caregiver,” “Dubai,” “In The Name of Love,” and “Milan.” Star Cinema, along with APT Entertainment and Agosto Dos Pictures, also produced the highest-grossing Filipino film of all time, “Rewind.”

Meanwhile, GMA Pictures has produced notable films that touch on key social issues in the Philippines. It led the production of critically acclaimed movies “Muro Ami (Reef Hunters)” and “Deathrow,” the historical drama, “Jose Rizal,” as well as blockbuster hits like “Let The Love Begin” and “Ang Panday (The Blacksmith).” Last year, it released the movie “Firefly” which earned the Best Picture award in the 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival.
