If you're looking for the next teleserye as your next hyperfixation, Lavender Fields might just be the nightly dose you need.
Dreamscape Entertainment is back with another mind-boggling revenge drama. The production house has released award-winning and iconic shows in the past like Dirty Linen, Senior High, Linlang, Kadenang Ginto, Mula Sa Puso, and more. This 2024, they're gearing up for another explosive project with some of the A-Listers we've all grown up with—along with new faces we'll see more of.
Lavender Fields offers a wide variety of actors from all generations. It may be another story about vengeance, but the cast will surely make you go gaga on it. The cast is a fresh mix of veteran and seasoned actors and rising stars—and most importantly, some are also having their grand teleserye comeback.
Who's in the cast of Lavender Fields?
Aside from Lavender Fields being a Dreamscape Entertainment project, it's the lead stars that totally piqued our interest. For the first time ever, Janine Gutierrez, Jodi Sta. Maria, and Cosmo cover star Jericho Rosales are top-billing one project altogether.
Yup, you read that right. Three Kapamilya A-listers will be joining forces to create one majestic show. Lavender Fields is Janine's project after her stunning performance in Dirty Linen—which, by the way, became the talk of the town because of its riveting twists. In her past works, Janine was the goody-two-shoes. But for Lavender Fields, she'll be the kontrabida and we can't wait to see her slay.
For Jodi, it's also another comeback project after top-billing the groundbreaking collaboration project between ABS-CBN and GMA Network from 2023, Unbreak My Heart.
What we're especially looking forward to is Echo's grand teleserye comeback after six years. The actor's last was Halik in 2018. After the show wrapped up, he took some time off and even signed up for acting lessons in New York City. In our February cover story, the actor explained how it helped him reignite his passion. "That was the beginning. That's how I restarted. I did about three [workshops] in New York while I was there. And then I went on solo trips to Africa and then to other countries," he had shared.
And now, we'll be seeing Echo on the small screen again.
In an interview with MJ Felipe, Echo expressed how stoked he was upon hearing that he was lined up for the stellar cast of Lavender Fields. "To be honest with you, pagpasok ko sa project na 'to, it was really so exciting. I just wanna get there already, I wanna shoot na, I wanna throw lines with everybody, I wanna read with everybody, I wanna be on set with everybody. I just miss that energy," Echo told MJ.
Fun fact: It's not actually the first time that Echo and Jodi will be working together. In Echo's iconic teleserye, Pangako Sa'yo, the actress who played his younger sister there was Jodi! This time, it seems that the two will be romantic partners. Oh, we'll surely stay tuned for that!
Here's a look test to the cast of Lavender Fields:
Aside from Echo making a grand comeback, we also have to note that this will also be Jolina Magdangal's much-awaited return to TV! For almost a decade since her last work in Flordeliza in 2015, Jolina has veered away from acting and focused on hosting and of course, her family. This year, she's finally coming back to join the acting showdown that's about to happen in Lavender Fields. How iconic!
Completing the outstanding cast of Lavender Fields are three more veteran actors who have pioneered the success of Philippine television through the years. Maricel Soriano, Albert Martinez, and Edu Manzano are also gracing the show. Interestingly, this is the first time that Albert and Edu will be working together.
"We've [me and Albert] been in the business for how many years, but we didn't have the chance to work together. And then you have, of course, the Diamond Star, Ms. Maricel Soriano, who I enjoy working with," Edu said in another interview with ABS-CBN's MJ Felipe.
More distinguished actors are also part of the show, namely Lotlot De Leon, Bernard Palanca, Biboy Ramirez, Justine Luzares, Pamu Pamorada, Thou Reyes, Cheena Crab, and Benj Manalo.
What is a Dreamscape Entertainment show without them introducing a new batch of up-and-coming actors? It's a pretty staple move for the production house to also include rising actors and for the upcoming revenge drama, we'll be seeing former child actors who are now blooming into their own esteemed celebrity personas.
Star Magic talents Jana Agoncillo, Krystel Mejes, Marc Santiago, and Miguel Vergara will be joining the cast in a bid to offer their fresh acting chops to the public. Plus, their on- and off-screen personas might add intensity to the already exciting plot the show has.
ICYDK, Jana was the child star famous for her portrayal as Ningning in Ningning (2015). She also portrayed the role of young Bettina Tiu, a.k.a young Kaila Estrada, in the recently concluded series, Can't Buy Me Love. Another fun fact: Krystel was one of the budding actresses that has showcased a wonderful performance as a kontrabida in the afternoon drama, Nang Ngumiti Ang Langit (2019).
