<p>It’s a wrap! Judy Ann Santos and Edu Manzano are done filming their upcoming series with acclaimed director Erik Matti.</p><p>The still-untitled project, co-created by Dondon Monteverde, tells the story of the showbiz industry without all the sugarcoating, according to Matti.</p><p>“We wanted to present the entertainment industry in its true form. Not just the best side of it but also the worst,” he said. “The egos, the insecurities. The dreams and the sacrifices. The nastiness and the chaos. All included for everyone to see how this is a world we love to hate but also a world we hate to love.”</p><p>“No justification. No excuses.”</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CwH_tHSyvfl/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1740719.1000003815%2C%22ls%22%3A1740295.3000001907%2C%22le%22%3A1740300.1000003815%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="612" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>“Today is the last day of a shoot that started last October 2022.

Nakakaaliw,” she said. “Basically nakakaaliw itong series na ito. It&#x27;s very, very different that&#x27;s why I accepted the project kasi sobrang ibang-iba talaga siya sa lahat ng teleserye na ginawa ko. And when I say lahat, lahat.”</p><p>At the time, the actress said she wasn’t sure if the series is up for an international release.</p><p>&quot;In all honesty, hindi ko talaga alam. But, hindi pa kami tapos. Ako naka-stop lang for now but sila tuloy-tuloy pa rin sila kasi may mga eksena naman na hindi ako kasama. Then I will resume with them in April,” she said.</p><p>&quot;Nung pinresent siya sa akin, the platform had not yet been decided. Ang decided lang ay kung ano ang gagawin at kung ano ang character. Pero open naman sila and they were very honest enough in saying na &#x27;yung platform will vary, depende kung saan siya puwede ilabas,&quot; she added.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/2/11/judy-ann-santos-shares-how-she-chooses-her-projects-1241"><strong>READ: Judy Ann Santos shares how she chooses her projects</strong></a></div><p>Judy Ann’s last acting project was the 2019 ABS-CBN series <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/starla"><em><strong>Starla</strong></em></a>. </p><p>Aside from her upcoming series with Matti, the award-winning actress is set to star in a new horror movie, <em>The Diary of Mrs. Winters, </em>with Sam Milby.</p>
