<p>JRB Creative Production has been blessing our feeds with exclusive behind-the-scenes photos and videos from the much-anticipated Mars Ravelo’s <strong>Darna: The TV Series</strong>. And we couldn’t be more grateful because we’re all super excited to see the homegrown heroine and all the other characters in action!</p><div style="text-align:center"><img alt="Behind the scene DARNA" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/entertainment/2022/02/20/Darna-BTS-1.jpg"/></div><p>In the first bunch of photos from its first taping day last year, we see the magic take place at ABS-CBN’s Hollywood-vibe sound stages in Bulacan. Jane De Leon, playing the iconic woman warrior, can be seen in the form of Darna’s alter-ego, Narda.</p><p>The production unit went live yesterday, February 18, to show more of Jane on the set. It looks like Narda will be working as part of the community’s rescue team based on Jane’s costume.</p><div> </div><div> </div><center><iframe allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="467" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FJRBcreativeprod%2Fvideos%2F660537581853679%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=267&amp;t=0" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" width="267"></iframe></center><div> </div><p>In a separate video, we got to witness real-time action courtesy of Iza Calzado playing the original Darna from the planet Marte who will pass on the magical stone to Jane, as well as Zaijian Jaranilla portraying the heroine’s adorable sidekick Ding, filming an actual scene in the middle of the forest.
