Filipino series are gaining notable popularity around the world, and this time we're talking about Hell University, another Wattpad adaptation after Ang Mutya ng Section E, Seducing Drake Palma and more.

What's special about this show is that it blends several genres at once: suspense, horror, psychological thrills, mystery, romance and a dark academic atmosphere. The plot isn't going to focus on a love story or feature lighter moments. Instead, it will be dark and suspenseful from the beginning.

So, when is this Filipino series coming out? The good news is that episode 1 of Hell University is coming out on February 6, 2026 on Viva One. This means that the premiere is just a few days away, after which fans will be able to stream the episodes weekly.

As for the story, it takes place in a secretive university that exists outside the awareness of normal people. This place runs on its own rules and isn’t controlled by the government, so normal laws don’t apply inside it, which opens doors for murders, mysteries and chaos.

Hell University follows the well-known Wattpad novel written by KnightInBlack, in which the events take place in a school of the same name, which suggests a lot about what happens there. This institution isn't controlled by the government at all, meaning regular laws are invalid here.

What makes it more chilling is that students feel attracted to join this university after learning about no fees and a lot of facilities. What they don't know is that this is nothing less than hell.

The cost of these benefits is a horrifying condition. Every night, the campus enters a dangerous phase known as "Bloody Night." It begins every day from 7:00 pm to 5:00 am, allowing students to take part in violence of all kinds, including murder.

The only way to survive here is to have strong alliances, power and strategies. Soon, the plot takes an even more dangerous turn when a student named Zein arrives and decides to keep her friends safe until they escape.
