There will be a fourth installment of the Encantadia saga, Encantadia: Isang Bagong Mundo, originally in October 2010 but pushed back to 2nd Quarter 2011 and now even pushed back for a January 2012 airing due to several reasons, both with the cast and with preparations. It is rumored that this show will replace the epic-serye since at the time of January 2012, Amaya would have already ended, this is still unknown. Although, having this show was confirmed already by GMA Network itself in 2009.[1][2]
