Production

[edit]

My Papa Pi is produced under Star Creatives, a television production arm of Star Cinema, with Cathy Garcia-Molina as its director.

Casting

[edit]

The casting of Piolo Pascual and Pia Wurtzbach served as their reunion project after Wurtzbach, then credited as Pia Romero, had a brief appearance in the 2005 sitcom Bora. ABS-CBN initially selected Angelica Panganiban for the role of Tere, but instead gave the role to Wurtzbach. Star Creatives did not give any statement to why they replaced Panganiban with Wurtzbach.[15] The show marks the teleserye acting debut for Anthony Jennings who previously starred in the 2021 movie Love at First Stream, and the acting debut for Madam Inutz who had previously took part as a celebrity housemate in Pinoy Big Brother: Kumunity Season 10.[5]
