    Netflix Philippines 2026: A New Chapter for World-Class Filipino Entertainment

    Ten Years In, Filipino Stories Take Center Stage

    As Netflix Philippines marks its tenth year as part of the local entertainment landscape, it enters 2026 with renewed confidence and creative fire. What began as a platform for global hits has steadily transformed into a trusted home for Filipino stories—stories shaped by local voices, grounded in culture, and brought to life with world-class craft.

    The connection is undeniable. In the past year alone, more than 90% of Netflix members in the Philippines watched local content, signaling a powerful shift in viewing habits. Filipino audiences are choosing stories that feel close to home, emotionally resonant, and proudly their own.

    From Streaming Platform to Creative Ally

    Netflix’s journey in the Philippines has been defined by evolution. Early on, it introduced global narratives to local audiences. Over time, it took on a more meaningful role—supporting Filipino creators, backing bold ideas, and helping long-envisioned stories reach the screen.

    That trust has paid off. Films and series such as Doll House, Lolo and the Kid, Outside, and Kontrabida Academy didn’t just perform strongly at home; they captured international attention. So far, 32 Filipino titles have made it to Netflix’s Global Top 10, proving that local stories, when told with authenticity and ambition, resonate far beyond borders.

    Netflix’s commitment also extends to the broader industry. Since 2022, the platform has partnered with major networks to premiere episodes of long-running Filipino dramas ahead of their free-to-air broadcasts—starting with ABS-CBN, followed by GMA. This approach offers viewers more flexibility while reinforcing Netflix’s support for the country’s existing entertainment ecosystem.

    “We are excited to continue growing alongside the industry, strengthening partnerships, and supporting more ambitious ideas from script to screen. We continue to bring Filipino stories to the global stage, working with a wide range of creators to showcase the breadth, ambition, and diversity of Filipino storytelling. We are confident viewers will enjoy the varied stories coming to their screens this year, and the many more we look forward to bringing their way,” said Vitto Lazatin, Netflix’s Content Lead for the Philippines and Director of Content Licensing for Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

    A Braver, Bigger Slate for 2026

    If there’s one clear direction Filipino audiences are pointing toward, it’s this: bigger worlds and bolder choices. Netflix Philippines’ 2026 slate reflects that momentum with five original Filipino productions—three series and two films, its most ambitious lineup to date.

    BuyBust: The Undesirables

    Set after the events of the 2018 film, this dystopian action series stars Anne Curtis and is directed by Erik Matti. With expansive sets, a large ensemble cast, and heightened spectacle, it pushes Filipino action storytelling into daring new territory.

    Balaraw

    Directed by Rae Red, this atmospheric horror-mystery series draws from Filipino folklore. Unsettling yet deeply rooted in local sensibilities, it delivers an ensemble narrative that feels fresh, eerie, and emotionally gripping.

    18th Rose

    A modern YA romance film, 18th Rose revisits the thrill and tenderness of first love. Featuring a new on-screen pairing of Xyriel Manabat and Kyle Echarri, it’s youthful, charming, and quietly powerful.

    18thRose

    Ganito, Ganyan, Ganoon

    Led by Jodi Sta. Maria, this family drama offers an offbeat yet heartfelt look at Filipino family life. Balancing humor and emotional honesty, it captures the chaos, warmth, and complexity that feel instantly familiar.

    GGG

    Paskong Pinoy

    Celebrating the country that holds the world’s longest Christmas season, this feel-good anthology revives classic Filipino holiday storytelling. With themes of nostalgia, romance, second chances, and homecoming, it’s a warm tribute to the season Filipinos love most.

    PaskongPinoy 2

    Stronger Stories Through Local Partnerships

    Netflix also continues its collaboration with local networks, premiering select series three days ahead of free-to-air television.

    GMA’s The Master Cutter stars Dingdong Dantes as a former scout ranger living a double life—quiet tailor by day, relentless bounty hunter by night.

    MasterCutter

    ABS-CBN’s Someone, Someday follows a woman haunted by her past who creates a dating app designed to help women find the right love at the right time. The series stars Kathryn Bernardo and James Reid in a fresh pairing, alongside Maja Salvador.

    SomeoneSomeday

    Looking Ahead with Confidence

    Together, Netflix Philippines’ 2026 titles reflect the scale, range, and emotional depth of Filipino storytelling today. Familiar genres are reimagined, new ideas take bold shape, and local voices continue to find space to shine—both at home and around the world.

    As Netflix moves into its next decade in the Philippines, the message is clear: Filipino entertainment isn’t just thriving. It’s confidently stepping forward, with heart, ambition, and stories worth sharing.

    Golden Globe Best Picture Winner “Hamnet” Screens Exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas Starting February 18

    One of the most celebrated films of the year is finally making its way to Philippine cinemas. HAMNET, the Golden Globe Best Picture – Drama winner and an eight-time Academy Award nominee, arrives exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas beginning February 18, offering local audiences a rare chance to experience an awards-season triumph on the big screen.

    2

    Written and directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Chloé Zhao, HAMNET is adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s best-selling and critically acclaimed novel. The film stars Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, Emily Watson, and Joe Alwyn, delivering deeply affecting performances that have captivated critics worldwide.

    A Standout of the Awards Season

    HAMNET has emerged as one of the most talked-about films of the year, earning Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and a host of major craft categories including Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Casting, Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, and Best Original Score.

    The film also made waves at the Golden Globes, where it claimed Best Motion Picture – Drama, alongside Jessie Buckley’s win for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama. Lauded for its emotional honesty and restrained storytelling, HAMNET continues to resonate with audiences for its intimate portrayal of love, grief, and creation.

    Watch the Official Trailer here:

    The Story Behind a Timeless Masterpiece

    Set in late 16th-century England, HAMNET offers a poignant reimagining of the life of William Shakespeare and his wife Agnes. What begins as a passionate courtship blossoms into marriage and family life, with three children grounding their world.

    As Will leaves for London to pursue a career in theater, Agnes remains behind, managing the household and holding their family together. When tragedy unexpectedly strikes, the couple’s enduring bond is pushed to its limits. Out of heartbreak and remembrance comes the emotional foundation that would later inspire Hamlet, one of the most enduring works in literary history.

    A Film Best Experienced at Ayala Malls Cinemas

    Ayala Malls Cinemas provides the ideal setting for a film as visually poetic and emotionally resonant as HAMNET. Every detail of the period drama is elevated through state-of-the-art digital projection, while the film’s evocative original score fills the theater with rich surround sound, amplifying each quiet moment and emotional turn.

    A Vision Trusted by Cinema Legends

    Producer Steven Spielberg praised Chloé Zhao’s approach to the material, expressing confidence in her ability to bring O’Farrell’s novel to the screen with sensitivity and care.

    “The beautiful and memorable storytelling in Maggie O’Farrell’s best-selling novel deserved to be brought to the screen by a filmmaker who would protect the material’s integrity and demonstrate an intuitive understanding of the emotional and complex journey that the characters—and the audience—take over the course of the story.  There was only one director I knew who would bring Hamnet to the screen with such compassionate care, and that is Chloé Zhao,” says Spielberg. “In adapting the novel with Maggie, Chloé’s inherent humanity, unerring sense of narrative, and gift for getting remarkable performances infuse every frame of Hamnet”.

    After nearly 30 years of redefining the horror genre with his whip-smart script for the original Scream, Kevin Williamson is stepping into a new role—Director.

    “People ask me that all the time, have I always wanted to direct a Scream movie, and I say, yes, with all my heart.”

    A New Nightmare Begins: Ghostface Returns

    In Scream 7, the story picks up in a quiet town far from Woodsboro—where Sidney Prescott (played by the returning Neve Campbell) has started over. After years of trauma, she’s built a peaceful life for herself and her daughter, played by rising star Isabel May.

    But peace is short-lived.

    A new Ghostface emerges, targeting Sidney’s daughter in a terrifying twist that forces the legendary survivor to face her darkest memories. With blood once again being spilled, Sidney is pushed to her limits in a desperate fight to end the terror—for good.

    “For me, the first time you see ‘Wuthering Heights’ should feel like this fever dream,” says Fennell in the newly released “Tickets on Sale” featurette, teasing the emotional intensity of her daring adaptation of Emily Brontë’s iconic novel.

    Robbie, who stars as Cathy Earnshaw and also serves as producer, perfectly captures the film’s energy in just three words: “Twisted, provocative, romantic.” And judging by early glimpses, audiences are in for a gripping cinematic experience that refuses restraint.

    Watch the “Tickets on Sale” Featurette here:

    A Passion That Refuses to Behave

    Set against the harsh, unforgiving moors, Wuthering Heights tells the story of a love that defies society, reason, and time itself. At its core is the volatile bond between Cathy Earnshaw and Heathcliff—two kindred spirits bound by obsession and longing, yet doomed by pride and circumstance.

    Cathy, raised amid neglect and isolation, yearns for beauty, wealth, and recognition, yet remains fiercely loyal to the one constant in her life: Heathcliff. Their connection is intense and all-consuming, but when ambition and temptation enter the picture, love begins to fracture.

    Years later, Heathcliff returns—changed, refined, and dangerously alluring—forcing Cathy to confront the consequences of the choices she once made. What follows is a tale where romance blurs into fixation, and devotion edges toward ruin.

    Meet the Characters

    Cathy Earnshaw (Margot Robbie)

    Beautiful, mercurial, and fiercely proud, Cathy is a force of nature. Though drawn to material comfort and social standing, her deepest truth lies in her bond with Heathcliff—a love that guides her every reckless decision.

    Heathcliff (Jacob Elordi)

    Once an abandoned street orphan, Heathcliff grows into a brooding, resentful man marked by hardship and longing. His devotion to Cathy is unwavering, but time and rejection harden him into something far more dangerous.

    Nelly (Hong Chau)

    Clever and quietly dissatisfied, Nelly watches the destructive relationship unfold from within Wuthering Heights. As responsibility weighs heavier on her shoulders, her disapproval sharpens—and so does her desire for escape.

    Edgar Linton (Shazad Latif)

    Wealthy, composed, and impeccably proper, Edgar represents stability and privilege. His refined world proves a powerful temptation, not only for Cathy, but for a future that promises comfort over chaos.

    Isabella Linton (Alison Oliver)

    Innocent and indulged, Isabella lives a sheltered life of luxury. Welcoming Cathy with open arms, she soon finds herself caught between admiration, rivalry, and the dangerous pull of Heathcliff’s attention.

The film features an evocative score by Anthony Willis, with original songs by Charli xcx adding a modern edge.
