Director Adolfo Alix Jr. Brings Wendell Ramos’ Son and Markki Stroem for the Final Episodes of Unlocked

Quarantine-themed anthology series Unlocked returns with its final three episodes this Thursday, August 27th, to the streaming platform GagaOOLala. Since the release of its first episode back in July, Unlocked quickly became the most watched series of all time on the LGBTQ+ platform, and each new episode has sat at the top of the most watched titles for six weeks.

Seeing the undeniable interest of the audience in these small but emotional stories, director Adolfo Alix Jr. wanted to extend the number of episodes to nine from the original six. “Greenlighting three more episodes was the easiest decision we had to make. Unlocked has brought the attention of people from all over the world and an increase of 500% in new weekly subscribers to the platform, which reflects on how universal and timely the series is,” says Jaime Costas Nicolás, international coordinator at GagaOOLala.

TFC delivers on promise to support Filipinos in Asia Pacific through public service amidst the pandemic

In the face of adversity, heroes come from ordinary people who choose to stand up for reasons bigger than their own.
