They started on the same evening, they will also end on the same day.
This Friday, October 2, the final episodes of TV5’s original programs ‘A Secret In Prague’ and ‘My Bespren Emman’ will air on the Kapatid network and ABS-CBN platforms.
The former, which is top-billed by Enrique Gil and Andrea Brillantes, increases its intensity towards the finale as viewers await the fate of their characters, Mikoy (Enrique) and Chiara (Andrea), who fell out of love after the death of the leading man’s father, Mario (Edu Manzano).
Meanwhile, in the latter, another pair will be tested until the very end as Mateo (JM De Guzman) and Ruth (Shaina Magdayao) face their biggest fight yet as they continue to seek justice for everything that happened to their once happy family.
A Secret In Prague and My Bespren Emman simultaneously premiered last April 27 and were the first set of original drama series produced and aired by TV5 following the dissolution of its earlier multi-year broadcast deal with ABS-CBN in January.
Originally, they were placed back-to-back on the revamped TodoMax Primetime block, but suffered low viewership after facing strong opposition from the offerings of both ABS-CBN and GMA Network.
Later on, when the Kapamilya-Kapatid partnership resumed upon the launch of Coco Martin’s Sigabo last June 22, both programs remained airing in the evenings.
Eventually, a wider partnership came to be and saw both TV5 Entertainment programs air on ABS-CBN platforms such as ALLTV2, A2Z, and the Kapamilya Channel beginning July 27.
However, as Someone, Someday made its premiere on the second slot and the transfer of A Secret In Prague to a later time slot, My Bespren Emman had to give way and was ultimately moved to the afternoon block.
While they will conclude their more than five-month-long run, both shows carry a lot of history with them.
For ASIP, it became the first-ever TV5 primetime series to air on ABS-CBN’s lucrative evening block, a move not seen even during the initial five-year deal between both networks.
MBE likewise made the same feat for the Kapamilya afternoon block, where it also became the first original drama series on both Kapamilya Gold and Hapon Champion since 2024.
The last five episodes of A Secret In Prague will air from Monday to Friday at 9:30 pm, while My Bespren Emman will be broadcasting its final week at 2:30 pm.
