Luna Blanca (lit. White Moon) is a Filipino multi-generational fantasy drama created by Dode Cruz and RJ Nuevas, written by Kit Villanueva - Langit, produced by GMA Network and directed by Dominic Zapata. It premieres May 21, 2012, replacing Biritera on GMA Telebabad block and May 23, 2012 worldwide via GMA Pinoy TV.
The series is also one of the three new primetime shows of the network for the second quarter of 2012, along with Makapiling Kang Muli and One True Love.
This series is the sequel of the 2008 hit telefantasya, Luna Mystika. The series is set in the fictional outskirts of Barrio Mausok and in seaside town of Santa Monica, Malabon, follows the lives of twin sisters Luna and Blanca. The two are believed to be the last descendants of Luna, the woman with a distorted face and Celestina, her mystical twin shadow (see Luna Mystika cast and characters). Although they are twins, the two sisters have completely opposite features, one with a very dark complexion and the other one with fair skin.
The show attempts to build a successful narrative on the Philippine society's resentment of those with darker skin, while favoring those with lighter skin, using the concept of blackface.
The series is divided into three chapters. On its first chapter, the series features child stars, Jillian Ward and Mona Louise Rey in the title roles. On the second chapter, which will revolve around the teenage years of Luna and Blanca, teen stars Bea Binene and Barbie Forteza will play the roles, respectively. In the last chapter, actresses Bianca King and Ms. Heart Evangelista will play the adult Luna and Blanca, respectively.
