‎Her life takes a wild turn when the fierce and fabulous Mauricia (Eugene Domingo), the headmistress of a mysterious school for on-screen villains, invites her to enroll. At this academy, Gigi learns the art of villainy and not just to torment heroes, but to find empowerment and bravery within herself.

‎The show uniquely portrays villainy as a path to self-discovery and boldness, wrapped in humor and melodrama.

‎Directed by Chris Martinez and produced by Star Creatives in partnership with Netflix, this series showcases stellar performances from a star-studded cast including Jameson Blake, Ysabel Ortega, Carmina Villarroel, and more.

‎With a strong mix of slap-happy villain antics, heartfelt transformation, and vibrant Filipino culture, Kontrabida Academy offers audiences a fresh take on learning how to be “bongga” and brave.

‎Watch Kontrabida Academy now on Netflix and see what happens when a meek woman embraces her claws and learns to own her place as the ultimate kontrabida.
