GMA’s ‘Legal Wives’ on Netflix

GMA Network’s top-rating family drama series “Legal Wives” is set to captivate the hearts of more viewers as it was released on Netflix Philippines on Friday, May 20, 2022.

The groundbreaking program, which aired in July last year, is the seventh GMA content on the popular video streaming platform. It joins the growing list of Kapuso shows and movies that viewers can binge watch on Netflix Philippines including “Descendants of the Sun,” “I Can See You,” “Love of my Life,” “Owe My Love,” “Heartful Café” and “Family History.”

The original series features a casting coup top-billed by actor Dennis Trillo as Ismael Makadatu, an honorable man from a well-off Mranaw family who will equally love three women out of obligation, dedication, and compassion; Alice Dixson as Amirah Alonte, the virtuous and pious daughter of a sultan and Ismael’s first wife; Andrea Torres as Diane San Luis, Ismael’s second wife who is a feisty modern Catholic woman who will go to great lengths to fight for herself and Ismael’s love; Bianca Umali as Farrah Valeandong, a smart and innocent lady who becomes Ismael’s third wife in hopes of saving her family’s reputation.

How will Ismael’s three wives deal with each other’s socio-cultural differences along with the idea of them sharing one husband? Is the idea of a man loving more than just one woman, equally and all at the same time, really possible?

All scenes, creative processes, and executions for the series are with the guidance of Muslim Consultants Sohaimen Agal, Imam Mohammad Miphantao, Imam Abu amen Abdullah, and Ustadh Alinor Pansar; Islamic Script Editor Salem Guimba; and Costume and Muslim Language Consultant Princess Nurfathma Egypa Balindong.
