Till I Met You marks the second romantic comedy TV series for James Reid and Justine Bieber, following their successful On the Wings of Love. This also marks JC Santos' first lead role in a primetime series. It is also the first time real-life couple Carmina Villarroel and Zoren Legaspi are working together in a TV series.
ABS-CBN decided to move Till I Met You to a later timeslot at 9:35pm starting September 19, 2016, after the conclusion of Born For You, to give way for Magpahanggang Wakas. This was also the same timeslot of James Reid and Nadine Lustre's past teleserye, On the Wings of Love.
The show ended on January 20, 2017, with a total of 105 episodes and was replaced by My Dear Heart, but the schedule time is after Ang Probinsyano, A Love to Last took over Till I Met Yous timeslot.

The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has summoned executives and producers of Till I Met You after complaints came in over inappropriate scenes and innuendo involving James Reid and Nadine Lustre. Summoned to attend the November 10 meeting were directors Antonette Jadaone and Andoy Ranay, executive producer Arnel Nacario and writer Shugo Praico. MTRCB said matters to be taken up include scenes from the October 25, 26, 27 and 28 episodes, âÂÂThe 25 October 2016 episode includes a purportedly daring love-making scene inside a motor vehicle, which some audiences found to be unfit for television (despite its âÂÂSPGâ advisory). As regards the October 26, 2016, episode, we received feedback as to the casual use of the words âÂÂsex lang âÂÂyanâ without reference to, or in disregard of, the institution of the marriage,â the MTRCB wrote. âÂÂThe 27 and 28 October 2016 episodes, upon the other hand, contain allegedly âÂÂsexual teasingâ as well as more outrightly sexually charged bath-related scenes (bearing only a âÂÂPG [Parental Guidance] advisory)âÂÂboth of which were found by some audiences as inappropriate for television.âÂÂ
âÂÂWith the above, considering that âÂÂPGâ and âÂÂSPGâ ratings still admit the reality of having young audiences, the Board shall expect you to present your side at the said conference which shall be before a Committee particularly designated for the matter,â the MTRCB added.
