A Family Affair is Ivana’s first lead teleserye with ABS-CBN.
In 2020, she was supposed to lead the cast of Ang Lihim ni Ligaya, which had started taping but was halted in March 2020 when the enhanced community quarantine was put in place because of COVID-19.
Ivana, fearing the pandemic, decided to drop out of the cast. The show was eventually shelved.
ABS-CBN has yet to release more details about the production A Family Affair.
