The upcoming TV series marks the first collaboration between Kathryn Bernardo and James Reid, who both rose to fame in separate love teams
MANILA, Philippines – KathJames sounds like a good love team name, right?
But Kathryn Bernardo would rather describe her upcoming team-up with James Reid as a “partnership” as she returns to primetime television for the first time in three years.
The Dreamscape Entertainment project marks the first collaboration between Bernardo and Reid, who both rose to fame as part of their respective love teams in the past.
“It’s not a love team and all. It’s more of a partnership,” Bernardo told reporters in a mix of Filipino and English.
“I’m glad because everyone’s excited. It’s been a long time since my last TV series, and also with James. Very refreshing,” she added. “This series is something to watch out for.”
The 29-year-old Bernardo last starred in a TV series in the 2022 ABS-CBN rom-com 2 Good 2 Be True, which incidentally was also her last project with her former love team partner and ex-boyfriend Daniel Padilla.
Bernardo and Padilla, collectively known as KathNiel, confirmed their breakup in 2023.
After 2 Good 2 Be True, Bernardo headlined A Very Good Girl (2023) with Dolly de Leon, starred in Hello, Love, Again (2024) alongside Alden Richards, and served as judge in Pilipinas Got Talent (2025).
Meanwhile, Reid’s last TV series was the 2016-2017 ABS-CBN rom-com Till I Met You, which also featured his former love team partner and ex-girlfriend Nadine Lustre.
Reid and Lustre teamed up for the last time in the 2018 romantic drama film Never Not Love You before he focused primarily on his music career, releasing albums lovescene: (2022) and jgh (2025), which were both produced under his own record label, Careless.
Bernardo said it took plenty of story pitches before she agreed to do the upcoming TV series.
“I considered a lot of things. Just like my other projects, whether it’s a TV series or a movie, I do what feels right,” Bernardo said.
“Out of all the stories that they have presented, this is something that I want to do, because it’s not just a love story, it’s about friendship, family, and it’s about women.”
Bernardo and Reid are already working on their chemistry as early as now.
“It was my first time to talk to him that long and to get to know him. We’re still getting used to each other. But definitely, he’s also very excited and we’ll start taping very, very soon,” she said. – Rappler.com
