Philippine media giant GMA Network, international film and tv production and distribution company CreaZion Studios and leading pan-regional over-the-top (OTT) video streaming service Viu are set to deliver the revenge drama series Beauty Empire.
The collaboration was made official during a contract signing held in March at GMA Network Studios.
Representing the three companies were GMA Network senior vice president for Programming, Talent Management, Worldwide and Support Group; and president and CEO of GMA Films Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes; CreaZion Studios president and CEO Anter “RJ” San Agustin and CreaZion Studios executive vice president and chief content officer Real Florido; and Viu Philippines country manager Vinchi Sy-Quia and creative content officer Garlic Garcia.
Atty. Gozon-Valdes underscored how the latest collaboration with two industry players is aligned with GMA Network’s vision of creating more content for diverse audiences.
“In this particular series, we will show you, in a very different and modern way, what millions of Filipinos are doing now. And I’m very happy that two of our most beloved and best GMA artists are leading Beauty Empire – Barbie Forteza and Kyline Alcantara,” said Atty. Gozon-Valdes.
Created by award-winning filmmaker Real Florido and seasoned screenwriter Rona Co of CreaZion Studios, Beauty Empire is a fresh take on a Filipino story that inspires everyone to redefine their own beauty standards — while giving viewers an insider look into the local beauty industry.
For Viu Philippines, the collaboration with GMA Network and CreaZion Studios is part of its focus to bring high-quality Filipino entertainment to global audiences digitally.
Produced by GMA Public Affairs, based on the original concept by CreaZion Studios, Beauty Empire delves into the fierce rivalry among powerful women in the cutthroat beauty industry where ambition, revenge and power take center stage.
The series is headlined by Barbie Forteza, Ruffa Gutierrez, Kyline Alcantara and Gloria Diaz, who attended the contract signing together with cast members Sam Concepcion, Choi Bo Min and Chai Fonacier. Also part of the cast is Sid Lucero.
Beauty Empire is scheduled to premiere soon on Viu before it makes its debut on GMA Network.
