Imortal is a sequel to the 2008ABS-CBN fantasy series,Lobo. The previous series also starredAngel Locsin andPiolo Pascual. However,Lobo story-wise only included werewolves without any reference to vampires. Locsin's character inImortal is the daughter of her character inLobo.[2][6]

Synopsis

[edit]

In 1572, a group of powerful beings arrived on Philippine shores. Known as vampires, drinkers of human blood, their menace quickly spreads throughout the land. But unknown to them, a powerful clan ofshapeshifters also lives in the islands—a group of beings who can transform themselves into powerful wolves - theTaong Lobos.

TheTaong Lobos were the humans' protectors, and together, the two species formed an army to destroy the vampires. The blood drinkers were no match for theTaong Lobos. One by one, they fell. Those who survive go into hiding. Peace prevails among the humans andTaong Lobos, and the memory of the vampires fades. Around this time, theTaong Lobos deal with a crisis of their own giving way to the events of the first series of this trilogy, Lobo.

Unbeknownst to them, the vampires lay dormant for a reason: to organize and fortify their numbers until they are ready. They hold a dangerous secret: a prophecy, foretelling an epic battle between vampires and theTaong Lobos that will ultimately decide the fate of their respective bloodlines. The battle will be led by a powerful vampire and a powerful werewolf who are each other's nemesis and downfall. The vampires believe they have found their prophesied savior and are now preparing for the war to come. Meanwhile, theTaong Lobos have grown complacent and know nothing about the prophecy.

With the stage set for an epic battle, two individuals: Mateo (John Lloyd Cruz) and Lia (Angel Locsin) find themselves drawn to each other. As they grow closer, they unknowingly awaken the powers that are lying dormant within them—the same powers that will inevitably tear them apart.
