Get ready to take a trip back in time as the hit Kapuso historical drama Maria Clara at Ibarra arrives on Netflix on April 14. According to a recent report from GMA Network, the popular show, which aired its finale last February, will soon be available for streaming on the world’s most popular streaming service.
If you’re not familiar with the show, Maria Clara at Ibarra follows the story of Klay, a Gen Z nursing student who is uninterested in societal issues and her Jose Rizal subjects. However, after being caught plagiarizing her final project, Klay is given another chance by her professor and is lent a copy of Rizal’s first novel, Noli Me Tangere.
As she reads the book, Klay finds herself transported back in time and thrust into the world of the novel. There, she meets the characters of the story, including Crisostomo Ibarra (later known as Simoun), Maria Clara, and the enigmatic Fidel, who seems to have no traces in Rizal’s novel but quickly worms his way into her heart.
While exploring the lives of these characters, Klay learns about the impact of the Philippines’ past on the present and does not hesitate to push back against the old-school and close-minded views of the people she encounters.
Starring Dennis Trillo as Crisostomo Ibarra/Simoun, Julie Anne San Jose as Maria Clara, and David Licauco as Fidel, Maria Clara at Ibarra is a must-watch for anyone interested in Filipino TV shows and the work of Jose Rizal.
Other notable cast members include Juancho Trivino as Padre Salvi, Rocco Nacino as Elias, Andrea Torres as Sisa, Tirso Cruz III as Padre Damaso, and Khalil Ramos as Basilio.
So mark your calendars for April 14 and get ready to travel back in time with Klay and the rest of the characters from Maria Clara at Ibarra. This is one show you won’t want to miss!
