Sang'gre (also known as Sang'gre: The Encantadia Chronicles) is an upcoming Philippine television drama fantasy series broadcast by GMA Network.[1] The series is based on a 2005 Philippine television series Encantadia and is a spin-off of 2016 version of Encantadia.[2] It serves as the fifth television series in the Encantadia franchise. Directed by Mark A. Reyes and starring Bianca Umali.
Background
Encantadia is an original TV series franchise created by GMA Network in 2005 top-billed by Sunshine Dizon, Iza Calzado, Karylle and Diana Zubiri as the four Sang'gres ("diwata" in Filipino, "fairy" in English). The show had 2 sequels, Etheria (2005-2006) and Encantadia: Pag-Ibig Hanggang Wakas (2006) with the same cast. After a decade, the series received a successful revival in 2016 with a new ensemble led by new Sang'gres, Glaiza de Castro, Kylie Padilla, Gabbi Garcia and Sanya Lopez.[3]
The spin-off was introduced during the Kapuso New Year Countdown on December 31, 2021, through an omnibus plug of GMA Networks's future 2022 programming. Titled Sang’gre, Reyes posted on January 25, 2022 a photo of a team meeting with the caption "And the portal to the world of Encantadia is open once again."[4]
Production
The series will be written by Suzette Doctolero, who wrote the previous Encantadia series and will be directed by the same director, Mark A. Reyes.
