Two decades since it first captured the imagination of a generation, Encantadia returns—renewed, reimagined, and reborn for a new era. GMA Network’s legendary fantasy franchise takes flight once more with Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre, premiering this June 16 on GMA Prime and GMA Kapuso Stream.

With the rallying cry “New journey. New beginning. New generation,” the series builds upon a rich legacy of elemental power, political intrigue, and enduring sisterhood. Now, a fresh chapter begins as the mythical world of Encantadia collides with the human realm—giving rise to a new breed of heroes and villains.

A new Sang’gre rises

At the center of this long-awaited continuation is Bianca Umali as Terra, the newest Sang’gre and bearer of the Earth Gem. Born of the noble Danaya and a mortal named Theo, Terra was raised in the human world, unaware of her royal lineage. As the world teeters on the edge of chaos, she embraces her destiny—not just as a Sang’gre, but also as a superhero cloaked in mystery and might.

Joining her are Faith da Silva as the fiery Sang’gre Flamarra, guardian of the Fire Gem; Angel Guardian as Deia, a kind-hearted “honorary” Sang’gre and protector of the Air Gem from Mine-a-ve; and Kelvin Miranda as Adamus, the Water Gem keeper from Lireo and Adamya. Together, they form the next generation of elemental warriors, heirs to the legendary protectors who came before.

A new evil awakens

Threatening their quest for peace is Mitena, the Ice Princess of Mine-a-ve turned Lireo’s ruthless new queen, portrayed by Rhian Ramos. Born of bitterness and driven by vengeance, Mitena wields the chilling power of ice—and an ambition to unravel the order of Encantadia itself. As alliances form and legacies are tested, the battle between light and darkness surges with new intensity.

A homecoming of legends

For loyal Encantadiks, the return of the 2016 core cast—Glaiza de Castro (Pirena), Kylie Padilla (Amihan), Sanya Lopez (Danaya), and Gabbi Garcia (Alena)—marks a poignant reunion. These icons pass the torch to the next generation while continuing to shape the realm they once fiercely defended.

Expanding the universe

“Sang’gre” delves deeper than ever into the lore of Encantadia, unveiling the kingdom of Mine-a-ve and introducing a host of new characters portrayed by Gabby Eigenmann, Bianca Manalo, Jon Lucas, Mika Salamanca, and more.

From the human world, veteran actors Manilyn Reynes, Ricky Davao, Buboy Garovillo, Benjie Paras, and Sherilyn Reyes-Tan add gravitas to the growing multiverse, while Solenn Heusaff returns as Cassiopea, and Luis Hontiveros, Cheska Inigo, and Gab Gueco lead the mythic beings of the old realm.

Adding to the star power are special appearances from a constellation of Kapuso talents including Ruru Madrid, Michelle Dee, Mikee Quintos, Lexi Gonzales, and many more—cementing the show as one of the most ambitious fantasy productions in recent Philippine television history.

Produced by the GMA Entertainment Group under the guidance of Cheryl Ching-Sy, Ali Nokom-Dedicatoria, and Camille Hermoso-Hafezan, the series is shepherded by creative director Aloy Adlawan, with storytelling pillars Suzette Doctolero, Onay Sales-Camero, and National Artist Ricky Lee contributing to its powerful narrative.

Under the direction of Rico Gutierrez and Enzo Williams, Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre promises not only stunning visuals and high fantasy, but deeper reflections on power, identity, and the strength found in family and unity.

As Filipino audiences crave stories that reflect courage, resilience, and hope, Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre reasserts its relevance—redefining what it means to be powerful, to protect, and to rise. Whether you grew up watching the original series or are just discovering the realm of the diwatas, this is a journey that welcomes all.

Catch the magic unfold weeknights at 8:00 PM on GMA Prime, GMA Kapuso Stream, and worldwide via GMA Pinoy TV.

The legend is alive. The Sang’gres have returned.
