Single/Single, Cinema One’s first breakthrou­gh series starring Kapamilya stars Shaina Magdayao and Matteo Guidicelli returns for a second season on May 15 at 10 p.m. on Cinema One.

At the media launch held on April 21 at Restaurant 9501 in ABS-CBN, the cast shared that Season 2 promises leveled-up entertainm­ent and relevance that will appeal to the millennial generation, without losing the comedy and kilig vibes that fans loved in Season 1. Single/ Single, Cinema One and The Philippine Star’s first project, is the cable channel’s first TV series that focuses on issues ranging from quarter- life crises to relationsh­ip dilemmas in a digital world. The series combines engaging comedy with relevant messaging targeted to the urban singles coping with the demanding lifestyle of a more com - plicated world.

Season 2 will continue to combine the power of cable and print media to talk to Filipino millennial­s about how to cope as a single individual in an entertaini­ng format. After each episode on Cinema One, an in- depth discussion about “how to adult” will be provided in the Philippine Star’s Business Lifestyle section by wealth management expert and in - spirationa­l speaker, Francis Kong.

For this season, online media will play a vital role in sparking conversa - tion among millennial­s and engaging them as episodes will eventually be made available via PhilstarTV.com.

Returning to the series are Cherie Gil who plays Matteo’s single mom, Anna Luna as Shaina’s career-driven buddy, and Brian Sy as Shaina’s gay friend.

Single/Single is directed by internatio­nal award-winning independen­t cinema director Pepe Diokno, written by Palanca winner Lilit Reyes, and produced by Bianca Balbuena who recently joined the prestigiou­s Berlinale Talents panel.

The new season will air every Sunday at 10 p.m. with replays on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 9 p.m.

Cinema One, the country’s No. 1 cable channel, is on Skycable channel 56, Destiny Cable Analog 37 and Digital 57. For updates, like Cinema1cha­nnel on Facebook ( facebook.com/ Cinema1cha­nnel).
