ABS-CBN premieres the Philippines’ adaptation of Nippon TV’s drama, "Mother", on Thursday, giving the Japanese scripted format another global win. 

The 14-episode series –  produced by Dreamscape Entertainment and directed by FM Reyes and Dolly Dulu – goes out as "Saving Grace" on Prime Video globally on 28 November. Two new episodes will drop on Thursdays.

Announced in July this year, "Saving Grace" is the 10th adaptation of the Japanese series around the world and the first Nippon TV title to be adapted in the Philippines. 

The series deals with a mother’s unconditional love while shedding light on the realities of child abuse and domestic violence.  

A-list actress Julia Montes stars as Anna, a teacher struggling to find purpose in life until she answers the call for help from her abused student, Grace, played by Zia Grace. 

In a desperate attempt to save her student from her neglectful birth-mother, Anna kidnaps Grace, sparking off a nationwide manhunt. 

The cast also includes Sam Milby, Jennica Garcia and Christian Bables. 

"Mother" premiered on Nippon TV in 2010, and has since been remade in Turkey, Korea, Ukraine, Thailand, China, France, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Mongolia and Greece.
