New BL digital series 'Gaya sa Pelikula' to premiere on YouTube

New BL digital series "Gaya sa Pelikula" by Globe Studios is set to premiere on YouTube come September 25.

Starring Paolo Pangilinan and Ian Pangilinan, the romantic comedy series follows the story of Karl (Paolo), a 19-year-old introverted architecture student and his schoolmate Vlad (Ian), who is on the run from his own family.

After meeting each other, the two become housemates during sembreak, where they learn about each other and themselves. 

"Gaya sa Pelikula" is an eight-part series of 20-minute episodes written and created by poet Juan Miguel Severo. It is directed by JP Habac.

According to a press statement, "Gaya sa Pelikula" is a prequel to the unproduced teleplays written by Severo on Wattpad.

"Gaya sa Pelikula" is set to premiere on Globe Studios' official YouTube channel on September 25. New episodes launch every Friday at 8 p.m. until November 13.

The series is part of YouTube's Super Stream content line-up, an effort to enable FIlipino viewers access shows for free for a limited time.

According to a statement, the series is "a love letter for and from the community in how it freely presents queer love, all its feelings, and all its possibilities that can lead to a most-deserved happy ending." — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
