In “My Guardian Alien,” the Kapuso Primetime Queen is back after five years, taking on the creative challenge of playing an alien as well as a loving human mom named Katherine.
At the show’s grand media conference at the Luxent Hotel in Quezon City on Thursday, the Kapuso Primetime Queen said she really wanted to do do a series that her children, Zia and Sixto could watch.
“Sabi ko, ang ganda nitong gawin kasi bago sa akin, at sure na mapapanood ng mga anak ko. Kasi gusto ko gumawa ng isang serye na kayang panoorin ng mga anak ko at magiging proud ako,” Marian said.
According to the actress, she wanted to do the series the very first time it was presented to her.
“Parang ayoko na na hahanap pa ako ng ibang kwento kasi the mere fact na sinabi nila sa akin ito, na original ito na nilikha ang kwento na ito. Tapos sabi ko parang may magandang asal na mapupulot ang mga batang makakapanood nito, parang wala akong karapatan, or wala akong ni katiting na nasa isip ko, na tanggihan talaga.”
“My Guardian Alien” is Marian’s return to primetime. It revolves around an alien character named 11-1-20-8-5-22-9-12-5 who is is contained in a pod, and lands on planet Earth after an accidental crash from outer space.
On Earth, the alien takes the form of a deceased woman named Katherine.
The lives of Katherine’s husband, Carlos (Gabby Concepcion), and their son, Doy (Raphael Landicho) will turn upside down because of the alien.
Award-winning director Zig Dulay is at the helm of the series. More cast members include Max Collins, Kiray Celis, Arnold Reyes, Tanya Gomez, Caitlyn Stave, Josh Ford, Sean Lucas, Tart Carlos, Christian Antolin, Kirst Viray, and Marissa Delgado.
“My Guardian Alien” premieres on April 1 on GMA Prime.
