It is one of the biggest fantasy TV series ever produced in the country.
In the New & Hot tab of the streaming service Netflix, the live-action Philippine adaptation of the 1977 Japanese animé ‘Voltes V’ was listed.
Titled ‘Voltes V: Legacy,’ it features Kapuso stars Miguel Tanfelix, Ysabel Ortega, Matt Lozano, Radson Flores, Matt Lozano, Raphael Landicho, Martin del Rosario, Dennis Trillo, and Carla Abellana, among others.
Scheduled to be released on Netflix on September 19, 2025 will be the show’s cinematic version or movie cut.
‘VVL’ was first announced in 2020 as GMA Network’s major upcoming project. That same year, principal photography commenced, with original ‘Encantadia’ director Mark Reyes at helm.
After three years, the show was finally aired on television on May 8, 2023, to a positive reception.
Although, throughout its original run, it faced a stiff competition in ABS-CBN’s ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo,’ with both shows battling it out for the overall top spot during most nights.
Due to its popularity, in May 2024, the program was re-aired by the network in its Afternoon Prime block, while its full episodes remained available on-demand via GMA Network’s website and YouTube channel in the Philippines.
In November 2024, the Japanese TV channel Tokyo MX picked up the rights to air ‘Voltes V: Legacy’ in the franchise’s home country and broadcast the condensed 20-episode version of the show.
