MAJA Salvador will top-bill the upcoming series "The Killer Bride," which will also feature Janella Salvador, Geoff Eigenmann, and Joshua Garcia.
Without revealing any details or the title of her next project, Maja posted highlights of the story conference on her Instagram account.
Maja also posted one of her looks in her upcoming drama series.
Netizens were quick to gather information about "The Killer Bride."
One netizen uploaded a photo showing that Joshua Garcia was present during the look test with co-actors Geoff Eigenmann and Eddie Gutierrez.
However, Joshua will not be working with perennial love-team partner, Julia Barretto, in "The Killer Bride."
According to other posts of netizens, Joshua will be paired with Janella Salvador in this teleserye.
"The Killer Bride" will fulfill ABS-CBN's previous attempts of pairing Joshua and Janella in one project.
The two were supposed to work in three projects in the past: the teleseryes "Born for You" and "The Good Son," and the movie "Vince, Kath, and James."
In 2016, Joshua was supposed to be part of "Born for You" as the third wheel to Janella and Elmo Magalona. However, he was pulled out of the project to do the afternoon series "The Greatest Love."
In the same year, Janella was supposed to play Kath in the movie "Vince, Kath, and James," but she had to turn down the project to do a movie with Regal Films to fulfill her contract. She was replaced by Julia Barretto.
In 2017, Janella and Elmo were supposed to work with Joshua in the series "The Good Son." However, Janella and Elmo were both pulled out of the show.
Janella and Elmo were replaced by Loisa Andalio and Jerome Ponce, respectively.
On May 30, Twitter users posted photos of Maja and Joshua who were at Pampanga for the upcoming TV show.
It was not clear when the photos were taken.
The series will also serve as a reunion for Maja Salvador and Geoff Eigenmann, who were paired in the movie "Villa Estrella" in 2009 and in an episode of "Maalaala Mo Kaya" in 2008.
They were supposed to do a teleserye called "Moon River," but the project was shelved. Geoff then decided to transfer to GMA-7 in 2009.
Prior to the look test, it seemed like Maja and Geoff were already taping for a project.
On May 8, a netizen reposted an Instagram story uploaded by Prince Stefan while they were taping for the project.
Also seen in the picture were Pamu Pamorada, Pepe Herrera, and Hannah Ledesma.
"The Killer Bride" will be helmed by the drama unit headed by Roda C. Dela Cerna, the former business unit head of "Maalaala Mo Kaya."

Yasmien Kurdi and her husband Rey Soldevilla revealed how they first met each other in a vlog posted on their YouTube channel last Saturday, May 26.
The couple were answering questions sent by fans while waiting for their own flight at Zamboanga International Airport.
Yasmien said their love story started when they struck a conversation on the plane.
The GMA-7 actress recalled, "Maraming beses na kami nag-meet sa plane pero hindi kami nag-uusap."
Rey said he was working as a flight attendant that time. Rey is now a pilot.
He added, "Kasi ako, I used to work for an airline before as a cabin crew so lagi akong lumilipad and, at the same time, siya rin laging lumilipad.
"So pasahero ko na siya for three times already."
Yasmien futher recalled the topic of their first conversation.
"On the third time, dun tayo nag-usap ng dahil sa isang baul.
"Yung baul na yun, bigay ng gobernardora ng Sultan Kudarat dahil galing akong Cotobato."
She continued, "Delayed 'yong flight ng four hours.
"Hinahabol ko 'yong taping ko, dala ko 'yong baul 'tapos hindi magkasya sa compartment nung pinapasok ko.
"So sabi niya i-check-in na lang daw. Saan daw ako dumaan?"
Rey added, "Kasi nagtaka ako, e, ang laki-laki ng baul tapos nakapasok sa eroplano.
"Tapos nung tinanong ko ano laman ng baul? Ang sagot ng kasama niya, ahas daw," Rey continued.
"So nag-freak out 'yong mga tao dun sa likod..."
Yasmien, however, clarified that she did not bring snakes on the plane.
"Tapos sabi ko sa kanila, 'Hindi, hindi, hindi pagkain lang ang laman nito, hindi ahas.'"
Yasmien and Rey also talked about some of their firsts, such as first date.
Yasmien recalled, "Coffee shop, sa may Starbucks sa 32nd Avenue."
But the couple are saddened because they won't be able to visit the venue anymore.
Rey explained, "Wala na siya ngayon, nalungkot kami nung wala na siya kasi dun kami nag-first date."
Asked who said "I Love You" first, Rey admitted that he was the first one to express his love for Yasmien.
Yasmien further revealed, "Kasi nilagay niya yung 'I love you' sa loob ng mug ng Starbucks.
"Nilagyan niya ng note, sabi niya, 'I love you.'"
