Mars Ravelo's Darna, or simply Darna, is a Philippine superhero series airing on Kapamilya Channel. The series is based on Mars Ravelo's Philippine fictional character of the same name. Directed by Chito S. Roño, Avel Sunpongco and Benedict Mique, it stars Jane De Leon in the titular role. The series premiered on the network's Primetime Bida evening block, A2Z, TV5, and worldwide on The Filipino Channel on August 15, 2022, replacing FPJ's Ang Probinsyano.
ABS-CBN acquired the adaptation rights to Darna in June 14, 2011 alongside other comic creations of Ravelo, which was previously with GMA Network.[1] The network originally planned for a feature film adaptation to be made under the Star Cinema banner, starring Angel Locsin as Darna and directed by Erik Matti, but the project underwent a decade-long development hell due to regular cast and crew changes and script rewrites. Upon De Leon's casting as Darna in 2019, principal photography began the next year, but due to a soaring budget,[2] the project was repurposed into a teleserye, developed for television by Dindo C. Perez (creative head), and Julie Anne R. Benitez (supervising producer) with a feature film still planned for release after the series finale.
Alongside its television broadcast, the series is released on the streaming service iWantTFC, as well as on YouTube for limited periods.[3]

Episodes
Production
Development
Erik Matti signed to direct a new Darna film in 2014,[19][20] with Star Cinema and Matti's Reality Entertainment co-producing the project.[21] Matti stated that the film is aimed "to revive not just the people who knows [sic] Darna but also with the people who will know Darna for the first time."[22] Producing a unique storyline posed a challenge to the director, as he did not want to be accused of copying from other big superhero movies such as those produced by Marvel Studios.[23] Matti envisioned the film, to be titled Darna, as a coming-of-age story that is serious in tone (similar to that of The Dark Knight Trilogy) but with gore aplenty.[23][24] Angel Locsin, who played Darna in the 2005 TV series, agreed to reprise her role when approached by Matti.[19][25] Locsin was forced out of the project following a back injury in October 2015, however, much to the consternation of Matti.[20][26]
A teaser trailer for Darna was shown during the 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival, whose visual effects were provided by Mothership VFX, the same company that worked on some of Matti's earlier films.[21] According to Matti, the teaser was released ahead of the then-upcoming 2016 election as a ruse to make audiences think that Matti's next film was "politics-related".[22] In addition, Matti uploaded a teaser photo in January 2016 of a hooded woman to Instagram.[21][22] Around this time, the lead actress for the role of Darna had yet to be revealed.[21]
Sources reported that Matti had begun principal photography on the film in March 2018, starting with the "simpler scenes".[27][28] On October 4, 2018, however, ABS-CBN released a press statement announcing that Matti had parted ways with the network as well as Star Cinema "due to creative differences", and that the studio was closing in on a new director.[29] On October 5, 2018, Jerrold Tarog came on board to replace Matti.[30] In December 2018, Tarog revealed that he had begun working on a new script and costume for the film, the latter he said would be "more practical".[31]
Tarog has said he would retain Matti's vision of making the film a coming-of-age story while also creating a more nuanced origin story that deviates from the previous Darna films and their source comic, which he felt "rushes Darna's origins". He also added that his version will eschew the "campy" portrayal of most Filipino superheroes in favor of telling a nuanced and introspective story where the actions of the superhero have consequences in the real world.[32]
With the postponed production of the film, ABS-CBN announced on December 4, 2020, that it will develop a television series titled Mars Ravelo's Darna slated to air in 2022 and starring Jane de Leon.[33] It's said that the film will push through once the series is finished.[34]
Casting
While Darna was still in development as a film, several actresses had auditioned to replace Locsin when she backed out in 2015, including Liza Soberano, KC Concepcion, Jessy Mendiola, Nadine Lustre, Sarah Lahbati, and Sarah Geronimo. Soberano replaced Locsin by May 2017.[20] In April 2019, however, ABS-CBN released a press statement announcing that Soberano had left the project due to a finger bone injury she acquired during production for the network's 2018 TV series Bagani, and that the studio had begun casting on a new actress.[35] On July 17, 2019, Jane De Leon was unanimously chosen from a pool of over 300 actresses who auditioned.[36]
On February 6, 2020, Leo Dominguez, Paulo Avelino's manager, confirmed that Avelino has been cast in the film.[37][38][39] Tarog later confirmed Avelino's casting during a fundraiser.[40]
Even as the film was reconceived as a television series, De Leon was kept on board to portray the titular character for the series. On August 12, 2021, Iza Calzado was cast to portray the first Darna and Narda's mother.[41][42] On October 5, 2021, Kiko Estrada, Richard Quan, Simon Ibarra, Levi Ignacio, Joj Agpangan, Mark Manicad, Young JV, LA Santos, Yogo Singh, Zeppi Borromeo, Marvin Yap, Tart Carlos, and Gerald Acao were announced as cast additions including Joshua Garcia as the male lead and Zaijian Jaranilla as Ding.[10] On November 19, 2021, Janella Salvador was formally introduced as the one who will play the titular heroine's nemesis, Valentina.[43] On February 17, 2022, behind the scenes photos revealed Paolo Gumabao has joined the cast of Darna. On March 1, 2022, Gumabao was confirmed to have taken over Kiko Estrada's role as Noah Ballesteros.[11] On March 3, 2022, Dawn Chang was cast in an undisclosed role.[12] Christian Bables is the latest addition to the series.[44]
Filming
Principal photography for the film began on January 19, 2020,[45] shot at ABS-CBN Soundstage in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.[46][47] However, on August 21, 2020, ABS-CBN officially postponed production on the film due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a week after the network announced that it had "scrapped" the project "because of the film's big budget (₱140 million) and the coronavirus pandemic."[48][49]
On December 4, 2020, during the contract signing of Star Magic artists, it was announced that the Darna film project will become a TV series in 2021. On December 21, 2020, during the teaser for Darna in the "Together as One in 2021" video, De Leon said that filming will start in January 2021,[50] but due to De Leon guesting on the series FPJ's Ang Probinsyano, filming for the series was postponed.[51][52] On February 5, 2021, during a press conference, De Leon stated that the new Darna project will be very modern and her Darna character will be very "millennial".[53]
On July 28, 2021, ABS-CBN announced that the series will start filming in early September 2021 but the schedule was changed to November to give more training time for De Leon, meanwhile De Leon is filming her remaining episodes on her guest role in Ang Probinsyano.[54] On October 4, 2021, ABS-CBN announced that Chito S. Roño will direct the series.[55] Avel Sunpongco will act as co-director and Keiko Aquino as head writer.[56][57] Roño envisions the series to be less soapy and more gritty and real.[58] Principal photography for the series officially commenced on November 15, 2021, at the ABS-CBN Soundstage.[59][60][61][4][62]
Marketing
On December 21, 2020, a teaser was shown in the "Together as One in 2021" video.[50] On December 19, 2021, a 45-second teaser was shown on the ABS-CBN Christmas Special 2021 together with their other upcoming projects for 2022.[63][64] On May 16, 2022, a new 45-second teaser which has the same clips plus additional scenes that were not in the last teaser was released on social media.[65] On July 7, 2022, the official trailer has been released.[66]
On June 13, 2022, a tease image went viral after ABS-CBN's social media pages temporarily changed their profile and cover photos to a different logo which resembles Darna's headdress which indicates that it's nearing its premiere. The tease image asks "Nasaan si Darna?" ("Where is Darna?") which made it viral. It gathered a lot of reaction as well as people commenting their excitement for the show, some having witty responses, while others doing photos with their Darna costumes.[67]
On June 16, 2022, a Darna mural was unveiled to showcase empowerment, heroism, and hope dedicated to the frontliners and everyday heroes. The mural also represents a hero on every person bringing hope and positivity to uncertainties and realities.[68]
On July 6, 2022, an official teaser poster was released, hinting some hidden Easter eggs for the series.[69]
On July 10, 2022, Jane de Leon, Joshua Garcia and Zaijian Jaranilla visited the ToyCon PH 2022 event at SM Megamall.[70][71][72]
On July 28, 2022, the Darna character made rooftop appearances in several Robinsons Malls in Metro Manila and in ABS-CBN's ELJ Communications Center.[73]
On August 13, 2022, majority of the cast members went to Taguig City to promote the series.

Pilot week
The comeback of the beloved comic superhero was well received by the public. Upon its first airing in both television and digital platforms, the official tag #Darna immediately became a No. 1 trending topic on Twitter in the Philippines and worldwide. On YouTube, the series also drew a stunning 296,334 concurrent live viewers throughout the entire run of the first episode.

Following Janella Salvador's transformation as Darna's archnemesis "Valentina",[84] the official tag of Episode 14 (#DarnaValentina) immediately shot to the top spot of Twitter Philippines with more than 16,000+ tweets. It was met with praises from both critics and fans.[85] Prior to the much awaited transformation, Salvador had several guest appearances on several TV channels, including TV5, PIE Channel, CNN Philippines, It's Showtime and on TV Patrol’s Star Patrol segment.[86] On YouTube, the episode peaked at 210,000+ live concurrent viewers, besting its rival show by a landslide.[86]
Critical response
Ryan Oquiza of Rappler gave a positive review for the premiere of the series calling it "a gritty, modern retelling" that has potential to even soar higher. Furthermore, he also stated that the Darna series also presents an intriguing story of maturation that rewards injustice and penalizes heroism.[87]
Oquiza also praised the performances of Iza Calzado, Janella Salvador and Jane De Leon. He described Calzado as the one who stole the show stating that her portrayal as the "First Darna" possesses the gravitas of Angel Locsin and the bravado of Anjanette Abayari.[87]
Mike Diez from The Philippine Star also praised the series and gave compliments to the pacing of the story, how its origin was introduced and the performances of Joshua Garcia, Iza Calzado & Jane de Leon. He emphasized Garcia as the standout and the heart of the series, as well as emphasizing that Calzado gives the character weight and “exudes an aura of authority.”[88]
The Ravelo family said that ABS-CBN is the best platform for Darna, emphasizing the quality of their works and of all the options that they had, the network remains to be the best choice for the comic superheroine and the rights to 13 other comic characters created by Mars Ravelo.[89]
Soundtrack
On July 28, 2022, BGYO were announced to sing the original soundtrack of the series, entitled "Patuloy Lang Ang Lipad".[90] It was officially released on August 14, 2022.[91]
