Development[edit]

Writer Suzette Doctolero began conceptualizing Pulang Araw between 2012 and 2013.[16] In 2023, the series was announced, with Doctolero serving as the head writer.[4]

Doctolero's interest in writing a story set during the Japanese occupation in the Philippines was a result of her grandparents' experience as guerrilla fighters and vaudeville performers.[17] She researched and interviewed World War II veterans, vaudeville artists and comfort women for the series.[8]

Casting[edit]

On November 23, 2023, it was announced that Barbie Forteza, Sanya Lopez, David Licauco, Alden Richards, and Dennis Trillo had been cast in lead roles in the series.[18] Rhian Ramos, Rochelle Pangilinan, Epy Quizon, Angelu de Leon, Ashley Ortega, Mikoy Morales and Aidan Veneracion were also announced in supporting roles.[4][19] The following week, Abraham Lawyer was reported to have joined the cast in a supporting role.[9][20]

Production[edit]

Principal photography commenced on December 1, 2023.[21]

Release[edit]

The pilot episode of Pulang Araw is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on July 26, 2024, while its television debut on GMA Network is slated for a July 29, 2024 broadcast.[6]
