Jerome Ponce and Krissha Viaje known together as Krisshrome

On the heels of the ultra-successful "Safe Skies, Archer"’ of The University Series, comes "Sembreak" from Viva One and Studio Viva that strengthen the bond among the “Univerkada” composed of Krissha Viaje, Jerome Ponce, Aubrey Caraan, Hyacinth Callado, Gab Lagman and Keann Johnson.

It was revealed at a recent press conference that the movie is "70% horror, 30% romance." It ups the loveteam of Jerome and Krissha as fans continue to ship their tandem called Krisshrome.

Krissha Viaje plays Mich. Her parents died from an accident, so she was raised by her Aunt Belen. At home, Mich doesn’t express herself much, but with her friends, she is very lively and somewhat silly. She has a boyfriend which Aunt Belen approves of as long as she still prioritizes her studies.

Jerome Ponce plays Arlo. He comes from a rich family. Though an introvert and socially awkward sometimes, Arlo is fond of swimming. There’s just a few people he can be totally open with – his girlfriend Mich, his best friend Tim, and the rest of their gang. Keann Johnson plays Timmy. He’s into arts and he’s Arlo’s flatmate. He’s got that YOLO attitude. He acts like he’s annoyed with Mich’s best friend, Cora, but he actually has a crush on her.

Main cast of 'Sembreak'

Aubrey Caraan is Cora. She believes in horoscope, feng shui, astrology and charms. Her being kikay is the reason why she and Tim banter a lot, but her best friend Mich and Arlo still ship them together. Hyacinth Callado is Jessie. She’s the most responsible member of the group. She works part-time in a café, which has become their tambayan. Jess is superstitious, a trait she got from her parents. Gab Lagman is Pipo, a scholar in the university. His parents work as a caretaker in a beach resort in the province. He offers this place for their weekend getaway…but will it turn out to be wicked?

They are told not to go to the lighthouse near the resort, but while the others are asleep, Mich, Arlo, Cora and Timmy head to the lighthouse to do the 3 a.m. challenge. Things turn scary when they get lost in the maze-like structure of the lighthouse. Fortunately, they safely get out of the lighthouse and decide not to tell what they experienced to anyone. As they drive back to Manila, the barkada doesn’t know that they are not alone on their way home. The six-part series is directed by Roni S. Benaid ("Mary Cherry Chua," "Marita"). "Sembreak" premieres May 10, 2024, with fresh episode every Friday exclusively on Viva One.
