The international drama series Monarch, which stars award-winning actors worldwide, including Filipino Iñigo Pascual, streams in the Philippines via iWantTFC 48 hours after its US airing.

In the series, Pascual plays Ace, the talented adopted son of Nicky (played by Anna Friel).

Other cast members include Susan Sarandon, Trace Adkins, Beth Ditto, and Joshua Sasse.

The show likewise features originals, as well as covers of pop and country hits.

Monarch is a country music-themed family drama about the Romans — America's ruthlessly ambitious, multigenerational first family of country music and its empire.

But its success is built on a lie.

The Roman family's power and influence are jeopardized when dark secrets and dangerous lies begin to hound them.

Nicky, heiress to the "Queen of Country" crown which her mother Dottie (Sarandon) holds, will stop at nothing to protect her family's legacy.

The Romans will get entangled in a scandalous web of complex relationships stemming from love and betrayal within their family. Intense sibling rivalry will threaten to tear their family apart as Nicky and her rebel sister Gigi (Ditto) fight to be the rightful heiress.

Meanwhile, their only brother Luke (Sasse), CEO of their record label who is caught in an illicit affair, also has a troubled relationship with his father, Albie (Adkins), the "King of Country."

Underneath the bright lights of fame, wealth, and glamor are the Roman clan's secrets of scandals, lies, and deceit. Will Nicky be successful in protecting her family's legacy, or is it already too late?

Monarch streams on the iWantTFC app (iOs and Android) and website iwanttfc.com.
