Hit Filipino romcom Gaya sa Pelikula will soon be streaming on Netflix, the streaming giant announced on Monday, December 21.

The series, created by Juan Miguel Severo and directed by JP Habac, will begin streaming on January 7, 2021 over Netflix. It will be available in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

Gaya sa Pelikula follows 19-year-old architecture student Karl, who moves into his uncle’s condominium unit and takes on jobs online to pay the rent. There, he meets Vlad, a film student who’s on the run from his own family. The two become housemates, turn into friends, and beyond that – as they struggle to understand each other and themselves.

The series was among the many queer shows that came out in the Philippines during the pandemic, following the popularity of “Boys Love” series.

“I’m so happy that GSP will soon be on Netflix and that the series can now find new viewers through the service. As someone who binges Netflix shows, it means so much to me just to see our title on that iconic interface,” said Severo.

The series stars Ian Pangilinan and Paolo Pangilinan as Vlad and Karl, respectively. The show first began streaming in September 2020. – Rappler.com
