The six-part series will premiere on Aug. 31 and three episodes for two weeks until Sept. 7.

Breaking new ground as the first Filipino Original of its kind on Prime Video, the show promises a unique blend of reality, comedy, and adventure, all set against the backdrop of a mysterious island.

“Comedy Island Philippines” represents a monumental stride in Amazon Studios' commitment to the Philippines, marrying the thrill of an adventure show with the hilarity of a comedy special. This innovative series showcases the remarkable talents of some of the country's finest comedians, actors, and social media stars. 

The show's massive sets, strategically located on an enigmatic island, are ready to witness a showdown of wit, humor, and camaraderie as the contestants find themselves marooned on the mysterious Tawa-Tawa Island. 

Resurfacing after a century, this island becomes the stage for the centennial games, testing the contestants' improvisational skills and quick thinking. Their mission becomes twofold as they compete in unscripted scenarios: bring laughter to the island's inhabitants and secure enough votes to earn a chance to return home.

“Comedy Island Philippines” is produced in collaboration between Amazon Studios and Base Entertainment Asia.  

The show will be exclusively available on Prime Video along with hundreds of other shows and films available on the Prime Video catalog, such as “Fit Check,” “Cattleya Killer,” “Ten Little Mistresses,” “Deleter” and “Walang KaParis”; Korean titles like “The Killing Vote” and “Heartbeat”; anime hits such as “Rurouni Kenshin,” on top of popular and critically acclaimed Amazon Originals like “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” “Red, White & Royal Blue,” “Citadel,” “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” and “The Boys.” 

Prime Video subscribers can watch films and shows anywhere and anytime on hundreds of compatible devices. In the Prime Video app, subscribers can also download episodes on their mobile devices and tablets and watch anywhere offline at no additional cost. Prime Video is available in the Philippines for just P149 per month.
