In short: What happens when the person helping you find love is actually seeking revenge? In the Philippine thriller Someone, Someday, the CEO of a dating platform finds her professional success and family stability threatened by a deceptive stranger with a dark, hidden agenda.

Produced by Dreamscape Entertainment, Someone, Someday is a romantic thriller that premiered on July 27, 2026.

While Billy focuses on her business and supporting her family, her life is upended when she unknowingly befriends a woman seeking retribution.

The narrative tension centers on the collision between Billy's professional world and a web of past traumas. The primary antagonist is Abigail "Abi" Mercado, a desperate and ambitious woman who is revealed to be Billy's older half-sister. Abi uses lies and deception to navigate her life while caring for her ill mother, Marie Beatrice "Bea" Ferrer, who suffers from mental instability following the loss of a daughter in a fire.

The series features a complex ensemble cast, including James Reid as Jordan Valentin, a musician and technical operations head for LoveList who serves as Billy's loyal childhood friend. Other key figures include Enrico Dominguez, Billy's estranged father who is wanted for investment fraud in Canada, and Oliver Cariño, Billy's younger brother who manages type 1 diabetes. Chad V. Vidanes, Dolly Dulu, and Andoy Ranay directed the production. The direction was handled by Dolly Dulu, Chad V. Vidanes, and Andoy Ranay.

Maja Salvador joined the cast on September 5, 2025, marking her return to ABS-CBN since 2019's The Killer Bride.
