At the recent “Vivarkada: The Ultimate Fandom and Grand Concert” held at The Big Dome, Viva One revealed the newest cast members of its hit teen rom-com series “Ang Mutya Ng Section E,” now entering its second book.
Joining the ensemble are Joko Diaz as Kaizer Watsons, Billy Villeya as Dylan, Jeffrey Hidalgo as Andy Estrada, Austin Dizon as Jason, Taneo Uyam as Ryosuke Soto, and Rhen Escaño as Honeybee Ryder.
Book 2 continues the journey of Jay-Jay (played by Ashtine Olviga) and the students of Section E. What once seemed like a resolved chapter now unravels into deeper mysteries, as Jay-Jay realizes that the peace she found may have been built on deception.
This new season dives into themes of betrayal and hidden truths, revealing the complexity of friendship and love. Described as emotionally intense, “The Dark Side” promises powerful moments that will not only test the characters’ relationships but also tug at viewers’ hearts.
“Ang Mutya Ng Section E: The Dark Side” premieres on November 21, 2025, exclusively on Viva One.
