MANILA- ABS-CBN's highly anticipated action-packed series "Incognito" is set to premiere on multiple platforms in 2025. 

The official trailer was recently unveiled during a star-studded media launch at the Dolphy Theatre in Quezon City on Friday, which revealed new details about the series, promising a thrilling mix of action, drama, and suspense.

The series stars a powerhouse cast led by Daniel Padilla, Richard Gutierrez, Ian Veneracion, Baron Geisler, Kaila Estrada, Maris Racal, and Anthony Jennings.

At the media launch, the cast, along with director Lester Pimentel and Star Creatives business unit head Des De Guzman, discussed what viewers can expect from Incognito. 

Directed by Pimentel, know for his work on Iron Heart, the show follows seven individuals, each facing personal challenges and aspiring for a second chance at life. The series explores their journey as they come together to face a common enemy in high-stakes missions.

"This is a story about seven individuals who are going through a lot of challenges in their lives," Pimentel said. "Ito yung time ng journey nila na they're aspiring for a second chance." 

The cast underwent an extensive four-month training program that included martial arts, Muay Thai, tactical combat, and war games. 

Jennings shared, "Lahat po kami nag under go ng training for 4 months." Racal added that the training was crucial for portraying the characters' technical skills and combat expertise, while Veneracion highlighted the importance of proper weapon handling and tactical moves.

"Super dami namin pinagdaanan bago mag day 1... Ang dami naming pinag-aralan," Racal revealed. 

"Yung training na 'yun, we were taught yung room clearing when entering a building. Tsaka dun mahahalata kasi kung maganda yung chemistry," Veneracion added.

Each character brings a unique skill set to the team. 

Estrada plays 'Max Alvero," a top hacker and expert in hand-to-hand combat. Jennings portrays 'Tomas,' a brave but rough character from a humble background.

Racal's 'Gabriela Rivera' is a skilled spy and expert in infiltration, while Geisler's 'Migeul Tecson,' is a sniper and a medic with a troubled past.

Veneracion's 'Greg Baterno' is a military tactician dealing with his own unresolved personal issues, and Gutierrez's 'Jose Bonifacio' is an ex-Navy Seal aiming to return to the military.

Padilla's character, 'Andres Malvar,' is a former scout ranger, with a strong, resilient spirit. 

The casts also emphasized that the series not only showcases intense action but also delves into the mental and emotional struggles of its characters, making Incognito a story about personal redemption and resilience. 

"Hindi lang ang pag dabble sa war pati na din yung pag dabble sa mental health and awareness," Geisler shared.

"Makikita din kasi yung individual journey ng kada character. That's I think what makes it really interesting. Hindi lang siya action na barilan o ano. It's seven different characters and different phases in their journey," Veneracion highligted.
