Eat Bulaga! Lenten Drama Specials

Eat Bulaga! Lenten Drama Specials is an annual anthology special by the Philippine noontime show Eat Bulaga! in observance with the Holy Week. The episodes usually release during the Holy Monday to Holy Wednesday. The series ran from 1981 to 2008 but returned in 2014. It then went on hiatus from 2020 to 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It eventually returned later in 2024.

Production

The series started in 1981. The first special was directed by Lino Brocka. Each episode featured Eat Bulagas host along with different guests. The series ran until 2008. In an interview with the entertainment website PEP.ph, Malou Choa-Fagar, an executive of TAPE Inc., the then-producer of the Eat Bulaga, said that the series was ended because they felt "there was a saturation of materials" and that " the trend back then was game shows".

The series returned in 2014, featuring the six stories of the winners of Eat Bulagas "Juan For All, All for Juan" segment. It went into hiatus in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The series later returned in 2024.

In an interview with PEP.ph, Joey De Leon, one of the series stars, said that the annual series was their "vow [to God]."

Premise

The series features inspirational stories and usually features Christian-related lessons.
