Prepare to be blown away by intense action, revelations, and plot twists in the finale week of the 2024 New York Festivals Bronze Medalist and 18th Gandingan Awards Most Development-Oriented Drama Program Black Rider beginning today.
As the series comes to an end, Calvin (Jon Lucas) continues to show off his evil ways and makes Elias’ (Ruru Madrid) life miserable. He uses President William (Roi Vinzon) to make Vanessa (Yassi Pressman) marry him, taking advantage of the situation that Vanessa is still not aware of the truth and the reality she is in.
Thrilling scenes are yet to be witnessed now that Señor Edgardo (Raymond Bagatsing) is already aware that Moises (Jak Roberto) is his lost son. Viewers should also not miss what happens next to Nanay Alma (Rio Locsin), given that her brother Jojo (William Lorenzo) is making her life extra challenging.
Despite all these happenings, Elias continues with his quest to fight for justice to protect his family and innocent people. The question is, will he succeed, or will he just put his loved ones at risk?
Coming back to the series in its finale week is Mariano (Philip Salvador), the mysterious man who helped and trained Elias to become a full-blooded fighter. Viewers are intrigued by the reason for his comeback and how this will affect the life of the series’ protagonist.
As the top-rating full-action series draws to a close, Ruru hinted at what viewers could expect in the last few episodes.
“This is where we’ll find out who will win, whether it’s evil or good. At the same time, there are many plot twists and revelations that we didn’t expect. Even I, when I read the script, didn’t expect we’d go this deep; the story goes much deeper than I thought,” shared Ruru.
He also expressed enjoyment in playing the role of Elias/Black Rider, “I learned so much that I know I’ll carry into my next projects. I loved Elias so much; I brought him to life as if I carried him with me wherever I went. I embodied his fighting spirit, his sense of justice for everyone, and his leadership. I know that even after Black Rider ends, he will never leave my heart.”
A fruition of its world-class executions and very relatable storyline, Black Rider has earned notable recognition both locally and internationally. Black Rider won its first-ever international award as a Bronze Medalist in the Entertainment Program: Drama category at the 2024 New York Festivals TV & Film Awards.
