After several years away from the limelight, Kris Aquino is returning to the screen through a new collaboration with Netflix Philippines.
The Queen of All Media has been introduced as the streaming platform’s new C.H.I.K.A., which stands for Chief Head of Insights and Kontent Analysis.
Netflix announced Kris’ surprise return on Friday, August 7, 2026, through a short clip featuring her as the C.H.I.K.A. boss, showcasing her editing skills.
"Kris Aquino is Netflix’s C.H.I.K.A. (Chief Head of Insight and Kontent Analysis) with some bonggang upgrades to local shows, Krissy style," Netflix Philippines captioned the video.
