Broadcast
The series airs on ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida evening block and worldwide via The Filipino Channel.
On March 16, 2020, Make It with You was put on hiatus and was temporarily replaced by a rerun of On the Wings of Love episodes due to the lockdown imposed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, which made the show suspend production work.[7] Thereafter, the series' future was put in doubt as ABS-CBN shutdown its broadcast due to the cease and desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission on account of its franchise expiration.[8]
However, Make It with You was cancelled, as announced by lead acress Liza Soberano's manager Ogie Diaz on June 4, 2020 and will not be included in the line-up of the upcoming Kapamilya Channel.[9] The ABS-CBN management decided against allowing production work on the series to continue.[10]
On June 9, 2020, Soberano herself confirmed the cancellation through her official Instagram account. The reason she cited is the health concern she has over her history of weak immune system that would put her at risk to COVID-19.[11]
