Get your tissues ready because the much-loved father-daughter duo is heading back to the big screen! Following the massive box-office success of the 2019 Philippine adaptation that broke records and captured millions of hearts, 2nd Miracle in Cell No. 7 is officially slated as an official entry to the 52nd Metro Manila Film Festival. Opening in cinemas nationwide this coming Christmas, December 25, the upcoming film promises to dive deeper into the emotional universe that left audiences weeping seven years ago.

This new installment will explore the untold chapters surrounding Lito and Yesha, giving viewers a glimpse of what life was like before the wrongful imprisonment and revealing the events that took place after the first film. Returning to reprise their iconic roles are Aga Muhlach as Joselito “Lito” Gopez and Xia Vigor as Yesha, alongside Lito’s fiercely loyal former cellmates played by Joel Torre, Soliman Cruz, JC Santos, Mon Confiado, and Jojit Lorenzo. Creative masterminds Nuel Naval and Mel Mendoza-Del Rosario also return as director and writer to recapture the magic.

Adding even more star power to the emotional narrative is multi-awarded and internationally acclaimed actress Jodi Sta. Maria, who joins the cast as Angela—Lito’s wife and Yesha’s mother. Known for her powerful performances in Pangako Sa ’Yo and The Broken Marriage Vow, Sta. Maria is expected to bring a profound new layer of drama and heart to the family’s backstory.
