What Lies Beneath

Five women who once shared a big secret drifted apart as life pulled them in different directions. Now they are called back to their hometown by a promise made in their younger years to a friend who is no longer there. Their plan is simple in name only: to finally fulfill a childhood dream they once tucked away, together, as a tribute to the one they lost. Reuniting stirs old memories, revived rivalries, and a sense that the past isn’t as distant as they hoped. As they gather, a hidden truth begins to surface, hinting that their friend's disappearance may be tied to their own choices years ago. The reunion forces each woman to confront what she hid.

Directed by Dado C. Lumibao and Froy Allan Leonardo, the 2025 series blends drama, action, mystery and comedy. It builds on an original concept with Kaila Estrada, Charlie Dizon, Janella Salvador, Sue Ramirez and Jake Cuenca headlining.

Critics are likely to focus on how the show frames female friendship under pressure and how secrets from the past ripple through the present. Themes include resilience, trust, accountability, and the costs of keeping or exposing the truth.
