“The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.” —Ida B. Wells-Barnett

This 2 February, GMA Prime proudly unveils the gritty action-drama Never Say Die that explores a world where truth has two sides and justice often comes with high cost.

The series is bannered by the first-ever team-up of the “Star of the New Gen” Jillian Ward as Joey Delgado and “Pambansang Ginoo” David Licauco as Andrew Dizon.

Joey, the vengeful daughter of a cop, gets her life intertwined with the cynical investigative journalist, Andrew, in the pursuit of exposing justice and truth that even exposes their families’ wrongdoings. In a world where corruption and drug involvement are rampant among trusted officials, these two will fight for what is right.

Joining the action-packed drama is an elite ensemble composed of Richard Yap as Tomas Limjoco, a philanthropist secretly leading a powerful drug syndicate; South Korean actor Kim Ji Soo as Jin-Ho Lee, a charming Interpol agent with a hidden agenda; Angelu de Leon as Clarissa Delgado, a mother torn between her family and the scandals destroying them; and Raymart Santiago as Major Miguel Delgado, a well-respected police officer fighting to clear his reputation.

The powerhouse cast also includes Sparkle stars Winwyn Marquez as Theresa Park, a high-ranking member of an international drug syndicate; Analyn Barro as Golda Briones, the sexy and bold informant; Raheel Bhyria as Peter Santos, Joey’s techie and street-smart best friend; seasoned artists Wendell Ramos as Police Major Diego Aglipay, Miguel’s confidant who seems to care a lot about his friend’s family; Ayen Munji-Laurel as Yvette Dizon-Limjoco, a socialite wife and advocate of the poor; and Gina Alajar as Rebecca Dizon, a veteran journalist who got killed in a coverage.

Never Say Die is produced by the GMA Entertainment Group, headed by officer-in-charge and vice president for Drama Cheryl Ching-Sy, senior assistant vice president for Drama Ali Nokom-Dedicatoria, senior program manager Edlyn Tallada and executive producer Erwin Hilado.

The show’s creative team is composed of creative director Aloy Adlawan, creative head Des Garbes-Severino, creative consultant Denoy Navarro-Punio, head writer Glaiza Ramirez, writers Loi Argel Nova and Emerson Jake Somera, and brainstormers Meryl Bunyi and Jai Shane Cañete.

Directed by the visionary duo Dominic Zapata and Richard Arellano, and written by Punio and Loi Argel Nova, Never Say Die promises a new era of fight and flight filled with grand chase, intense fight choreography and a story that refuses to back down.
