Barbie Forteza and Eugene Domingo Lead Netflix’s Hilariously Wicked KONTRABIDA ACADEMY

What happens when life leaves you battered at work, heartbroken, and hopeless in general? For Gigi (Barbie Forteza), the answer might just be to embrace her inner kontrabida. Netflix’s upcoming comedy Kontrabida Academy takes audiences on a wickedly fun journey of reinvention and empowerment when it streams on September 11, 2025.

In the film, Gigi’s life is a mess as her job, her family, and even her love life is crumbling. Just when it seems like things can’t get any worse, the fierce and fabulous Mauricia (Eugene Domingo) sweeps into her world. Mauricia introduces her to Kontrabida Academy, a one-of-a-kind school where students learn the art of being bad to the bone. Gigi discovers that sometimes, owning your flaws and embracing the kontrabida within can be the most empowering lesson of all.

Barbie Forteza, one of today’s most versatile actresses, takes on a new challenge in Kontrabida Academy bringing both heart and humor to a character at the crossroads of self-discovery. Opposite her is comedy legend Eugene Domingo, whose larger-than-life performance promises unforgettable laughs as expected from her body of work. 

Class is officially in session at Kontrabida Academy. Get ready for lessons in laughter, drama, and unapologetic kontrabida energy when Kontrabida Academy streams worldwide starting September 11, 2025 - only on Netflix.
