Joaquin Arce and Lella Ford are taking their much-talked-about chemistry from the Pinoy Big Brother house to a brand-new project as they headline the upcoming iWant Original series “Juan and Lily Run for SK.”
The youth-oriented series was announced on September 3, putting two of the most recognizable young stars from “Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0” together once again—this time in a scripted series.
The project will be directed by Petersen Vargas, with filmmaker Irene Villamor serving as creative producer. Joining Arce and Ford in the cast are fellow PBB stars Miguel Vergara and Krystal Mejes, along with Fred Moser and Eliza Borromeo.
The announcement immediately caught the attention of fans who followed Arce and Ford during their time in “PBB Celebrity Collab 2.0,” where their friendship and on-screen chemistry became a frequent topic among viewers.
Their PBB journey also gave both young stars a major career boost. Ford was named the Kapamilya Big Winner after receiving 53.63% of the public vote, while Arce finished as a third placer with 16.95%.
Since leaving the reality show, the two have continued to appear together in entertainment projects and events. Arce even made headlines in June after staging a cinematic promposal for Ford at Star Magical Prom 2026, further fueling interest in their partnership among fans.
Their popularity has also extended beyond simple fan speculation. GMA News previously reported on the attention surrounding Ford’s PBB pairings, including her connection with Arce, while Ford said she was happy that viewers recognized the genuine friendships and relationships formed inside the PBB house.
Now, “Juan and Lily Run for SK” gives Arce and Ford an opportunity to show a different side of their partnership.
Rather than relying solely on their reality-show history, the upcoming series places them in a fictional youth story, with the title itself pointing toward a storyline involving the Sangguniang Kabataan, or SK.
For fans who have followed Joaquin and Lella since their PBB days, the new series could become an important test of how their chemistry translates from reality television into scripted storytelling.
And with a cast that also includes several familiar young faces, “Juan and Lily Run for SK” is shaping up to be one of iWant’s projects to watch as it prepares for release.
The series is an iWant Original and is currently listed as “coming soon.” Further details regarding its release date and complete storyline have yet to be announced.
