Prime Video today announced the premiere date of Fit Check: Confessions of An Ukay Queen, an Amazon Original comedy-drama series, and debuted the official trailer. The eight-episode series, produced by ABS-CBN Entertainment and Dreamscape Entertainment, is set to premiere July 6 exclusively on Prime Video in the Philippines and more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
Fit Check: Confessions of An Ukay Queen stars Kim Chiu, along with Jake Ejercito, Angel Aquino, Kylie Verzosa, and Christopher De Leon. Nuel Naval (Family Matters, The Love Affair) directed this series with a script from Genesis Rodriguez.
Much like the ukay (secondhand) clothes that she sells, Melanie (Kim Chiu) was also “discarded,” abandoned by her own mother when she was a baby. She dreams of making it big as a fashion designer, to prove her worth and show her mother that she should’ve never left her. She finds the opportunity of a lifetime when a handsome young fashion executive, Chris (Jake Ejercito), takes notice of her talents. As Melanie steps into the fast-paced and cutthroat world of the Filipino fashion industry, she also finds herself on a journey toward self-awareness, empowerment, forgiveness, and the possibility of true love.
“We’re excited to continue to make Prime Video the home of the best Filipino talents,” said David Simonsen, director of Prime Video Southeast Asia. “We believe with its compelling storyline and exceptional performances, Fit Check: Confessions of an Ukay Queen will keep our audiences both inspired and entertained.”
