Prime Video Announces Premiere Date for New Comedy Series, "COMEDY ISLAND PHILIPPINES"

Prime Video announced today that Amazon Original comedy series Comedy Island Philippines will be available on Prime Video in the Philippines and more than 240 countries and territories worldwide starting August 31, 2023. A hybrid between scripted and unscripted, the six part series is unique and unpredictable and has been  produced by Amazon Studio in collaboration with BASE Entertainment Asia.

Comedy Island Philippines features seven comedians, actors, and social media celebrities - Carlo Aquino, Rufa Mae Quinto, Andrea Brillantes, Jerald Napoles, Cai Cortez, Awra Briguela, Justine Luzares, and Drew Arellano - who embark on a hilarious adventure when they are washed upon the shore of the mysterious Tawa-Tawa Island, which resurfaces after 100 years to commence the fictional “Centennial Games.” 

They soon find themselves unwitting competitors in these games, and must improvise to survive and escape the island. Pitted against each other in unscripted improvisational scenarios, the celebrities pull out all stops to bring laughter and entertainment to the island’s citizens, in order to win the most votes and a chance to go back home.

The six-part series will launch with three episodes streaming back-to-back each week over a two-week period, from August 31-September 7.

Comedy Island Philippines joins hundreds of other Filipino shows and films available on the Prime Video catalog, such as Fit Check: Confessions of an Ukay Queen, Cattleya Killer, Ten Little Mistresses, Walang KaParis, and Deleter. On top of award-winning and critically acclaimed Amazon Originals like Citadel, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, The Boys, and Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan.
