Prepare to be blown away by intense action, revelations, and plot twists in the finale week of the 2024 New York Festivals Bronze Medalist and 18th Gandingan Awards Most Development-Oriented Drama Program “Black Rider.”
With over 200 artists and personalities in the series and more than 170 action-packed and gripping episodes aired, Black Rider has proven its strong presence not just on television but also online. Across all social media platforms, Black Rider’s videos continue to go viral and have earned over 1.5 billion views and counting.
Proudest of the show’s achievements is lead star Ruru Madrid.
In a recent interview, Ruru attested to learning a lot working on the series.
He shared, “Sobrang minahal ko si Elias, binuhay ko siya na para bang nadala ko siya na kahit nasaan ako. Nadala ko ‘yung pagiging palaban niya, nadala ko ‘yung hustisya niya para sa lahat, at ‘yung pagiging leader niya. Alam kong kahit matapos ‘tong Black Rider, hinding hindi na siya mawawala sa puso ko. Napakarami kong natutunan na alam kong dadalhin ko sa susunod ko pang proyekto.”
As the top-rating full-action series draws to a close, Ruru hinted at what viewers could expect in the last few episodes.
“Dito na malalaman kung sino talaga ang magwawagi, kung ang kasamaan ba o kabutihan. And at the same time, marami rin talagang plot twists at revelations na hindi natin inaasahan. Even ako, nung nabasa ko ‘yung script, hindi ko rin inexpect na dito tayo pupunta, parang ganoon pala kalalim ‘yung pupuntahan ng istorya,” shared Ruru.
In the story so far, Calvin (Jon Lucas) continues to show off his evil ways and makes Elias’ (Ruru Madrid) life miserable. He uses President William (Roi Vinzon) to make Vanessa (Yassi Pressman) marry him, taking advantage of the situation that Vanessa is still not aware of the truth and the reality she is in.
Meanwhile, Señor Edgardo (Raymond Bagatsing) is already aware that Moises (Jak Roberto) is his lost son.
Jojo (William Lorenzo), on the other hand, continues to make life extra challenging for Nanay Alma (Rio Locsin).
Amid it all, Elias continues with his quest to fight for justice to protect his family and innocent people.
The question is, will he succeed, or will he just put his loved ones at risk?
Making a comeback is Mariano (Philip Salvador), the mysterious man who helped and trained Elias to become a full-blooded fighter.
Helmed by Rommel Penesa and Richard Arellano, “Black Rider” airs 8pm on GMA Prime, with simulcast on Pinoy Hits and livestreamed via Kapuso Stream and GMA Public Affairs’ YouTube and Facebook accounts.
Catch the delayed telecast on GTV at 10:05 PM. Global Pinoys can watch it on GMA Pinoy TV.
