Ang Mutya ng Section E season 2 is confirmed

Ashtine Olviga (Jay-Jay) and Andres Muhlach (Keifer) confirmed season 2 will be coming soon during a fan meet event at the Metro Manila-based New Frontier Theatre on May 1, 2025.

Viva released the first teaser the following day, but the official release date has not been revealed. All 16 episodes of Ang Mutya ng Section E season 1 aired on Viva One from January 3, 2025, to April 25, 2025.

Ang Mutya ng Section E season 1 had a major twist

Jay-Jay Mariano transfers to the prestigious Higher Value International School to escape her past troubles and have a normal high school life. To her disappointment, she is placed in Section E, which is known to be the school’s most unruly section.

Section E is primarily composed of boys, and Jay-Jay finds herself as the only female student. The boys, led by their class president Mark Keifer, try to drive her out of their section, but she is determined to stay.

Later in the season, Jay-Jay becomes mutya (the jewel) of section E as Keifer starts developing a soft spot for her and even protects her from other sections. Keifer’s friend Yuri also has feelings for Jay, leading to a love triangle.

Jay-Jay has a surprising engagement with Yuri after her family, Fernandez and Yuri’s family, Hanamitchi, enter a partnership deal. The decision to choose Yuri as her future husband is made by Jay’s cousin Angelo, her grandmother, and her aunt after their company goes bankrupt.

Despite agreeing to marry Yuri, Jay-Jay still has strong feelings for Keifer. They confess their love for each other and end the season with a kiss.

What to expect in Ang Mutya ng Section E season 2

The teen drama's second season will be based on the second book, Ang Mutya ng Section E: The Dark Side. The love triangle involving Jay-Jay, Yuri, and Keifer will remain a key subplot.

The season will also explore the past that keeps haunting Keifer and Jay-Jay. From the teaser, viewers can expect to learn about the characters' buried secrets, including why Jay is afraid of blood and her family skeletons.
