ABS-CBN Collaborates with Netflix on Kathniel’s “2 Good 2 Be True”

Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla are overjoyed that their forthcoming series will premiere on Netflix.

ABS-CBN and Netflix announced an unprecedented simulcast arrangement on Tuesday, in which “2 Good 2 Be True” will have an exclusive 72-hour window on the worldwide streaming platform before its episodes air on free and paid televisions.

Bernardo exclaimed, “Super pleasant surprise,” in an interview with ABS-CBN News.

“Noong tumawag si Tita Cory (Vidanes), sabi niya, ‘Kath, may I call? Because I want na sa amin mo unang marinig.’ Hindi ko naman in-expect niya, kaya super na-excite kami lalo.”

Padilla, on the other hand, is happy of how they filmed this program with director Mae Cruz-vision Alviar’s in mind, in order to provide spectators with a great production.

“Mas film style na ‘yung show. Hindi lang siya basta. Dati, ‘yung mga serye kasi natin ‘pick pack’ lang — usap, dalawang camera, dalawang kinukuhanan tapos next sequence na tayo,” he said.

“Ngayon, para tayong pelikula. May three shots para sa isang eksena na iba-iba ‘yung anggulo. Mas film ‘yung feel nito. Film talaga ‘yung pagkuha nitong serye ngayon. It’s much better. Sakto siya sa Netflix dahil siyempre kailangan nating lumebel sa kanila doon,” Padilla stated.

“Ito mas healthy and alam namin na kapag may eksena, hindi masyadong mamamadali and happy kami sa kakalabasan. I think important naman talaga to give quality projects, more importantly na nandito na sa Netflix. Ayaw naman natin din magpahuli and we want to keep improving ‘yung ABS, ‘yung quality ng mabibigay nating projects,” she said.

“2 Good 2 Be True” features Eloy (Padilla) and Ali (Bernardo), who are both broken by their parents’ love issues.

They, on the other hand, make their way into one other’s arms, but are always pushed back by their uncertainties in their hearts, until they discover that their lives are more intertwined than they think.

Ronaldo Valdez, Gloria Diaz, and Irma Adlawan join Bernardo and Padilla in the cast, as do Gelli de Belen, Romnick Sarmenta, Cris Villanueva, and Smokey Manaloto.

The project also includes Matt Evans, Jenny Miller, Yves Flores, and Pamu Pamorada. The cast is completed by Gillian Vicencio, Kristel Fulgar, Bianca de Vera, and Alyssa Muhlach.

“2 Good 2 Be True” will launch on Netflix on May 13 and on free TV on May 16.
