Lana told Manila Bulletin that envisioned the film to be “biggest, wildest, campiest mistress movie to end all mistress movies,” while Director Prime Video, Southeast Asia David Simonsen told the outlet, “Filipino audiences love entertainment. We’re excited to be a home for leading Filipino storytellers like Jun, and look forward to partnering with many
more. Ten Little Mistresses is a uniquely local and highly enjoyable comedy and we are delighted to bring this movie to not just audiences in the Philippines but customers across the region and worldwide.”
