SHOWBIZ: More drama from superstar family

Asian reality series It Takes Gutz To Be A Gutierrez has been renewed for a second season.

It will see the family deal with even more excitement and drama. Will Richard and Sarah’s relationship move any closer to marriage?

Viewers will also watch Raymond taking his hosting career to the next level and Ruffa’s growing long-distance relationship.

Just how far will things go? Will the family be welcoming another baby in the near future?

“The early renewal of It Takes Gutz To Be A Gutierrez demonstrates NBCUniversal’s continued commitment to invest in local productions that are relevant and which resonate with our audiences in the region,” said Universal Networks International Asia-Pacific managing director Christine Fellowes.

The sizzling, six-episode first season gave viewers unfiltered access to the fabulously dramatic lives of the Gutierrez family.

Members of this sensational showbiz clan include former beauty queen Ruffa, her twin brothers (screen superstar Richard and funny fashionista Raymond), and their parents, industry legend-matinee idol Eddie and political aspirant-talent manager Annabelle.

It Takes Gutz To Be A Gutierrez broke ratings records throughout its run, becoming the channel’s most watched programme in the Philippines since January last year.

At its peak, the series made E! the number one channel during the show’s 9pm to 9.30pm time slot among key demographics out of 24 English general entertainment/lifestyle channels in the Philippines.

The series also performed well in Malaysia, where it ranked as the No. 2 programme on E! for the week of June 15-21 among women aged 20-44.

The first season’s finale follows the aftermath of Richard and Raymond’s heated argument at the dinner table. Meanwhile, the family’s Southeast Asia vacation ends on a high note as they explore the fun-filled attractions at Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore.

The excitement continues back in Manila, where the family celebrates Ruffa’s 40th birthday bash, as well as an adorable safari-themed party for baby Zion.

It Takes Gutz To Be A Gutierrez is the first-ever international reality series for E!, NBCUniversal’s pop culture powerhouse.
