Expected to be announced in event would be "2gether the Series" and "Dtaem Rak".

2TS is a BL series based on a novel and already has Bright Vachirawit and Win Metawin as its lead actors.

DR is the "working title" of the teaser that Mr. Koo (director for various Change2561 dramas and some GMMTV series like "Boy for Rent" and "Endless Love") has posted in his IG account back in May 2019. No further info can be found regarding this project, except that this appears to be based on a novel with the same title. Since this is GMMTV, it's expected to have an English title. ("Love Points" is its literal English translation.)

There are rumoured titles from Wikipedia back in summer like "Wake Up Ladies the Series 2", "Friend Zone 2", "Who are You", and "The Shipper". Inevitably they were taken off. But there's a poster of "Who are You" (which is based on a Korean drama "School 2015") that is circulating, with Krist Perawat, Namtan Tipnaree and Kay Lertsittichai's photos in that. Not sure how reliable this one is.



(Above "Who are You" is a rumoured upcoming GMMTV drama "Boss..." (some Thai characters). Below it is "Turn Left Turn Right", which was already announced as part of the 2019 line-up but is airing on January 2020.)

There's also a strong clamour for "The Gifted Season 2", as well as the comeback for Peraya (Krist Perawat and Singto Prachay, who were best known for their series "SOTUS" and "SOTUS S") in a BL drama.

There's also a rumour of a BL drama starring Earth Pirapat (lead in the TV version of BL movie "Waterboyy") and Poss Plapodd (one of the leads in the upcoming BL drama "Dark Blue Kiss"). There are 2 photos of them (along with some other GMMTV actors) in @backaof's IG account back in September 2018, so maybe it could be a workshop too. (@backaof is the director of "He's Coming to Me" and "Dark Blue Kiss".)

Omg, if there is going to be the Thai version of School 2015 with Krist & Namtarn I am down for it. Even though
I have never watched the Korean version itself Hahahhaa. I am down for a Wang & Pat reunion. I love their
chemistry so much. I am ready for 2020, one for Jayler & Jane, two for Singto and his fabulous acting. More BL!!

Some non-GMMTV artists that are likely to be part of a GMMTV series next year:

Punpun Suttata - She's done at least 1 GMMTV project yearly since 2016, except for 2018. But "Wolf" was announced in 2018, and aired last January this year.

Kao Jirayu - It'll be his first time ever (as he worked mostly with GMM25, but his last drama was with Channel 3).

Knomjean Kulamas - It'll also be her first time ever (though she sang the theme song of "The Sand Princess", worked mostly with One31).

Nat Sakdatorn - He previously worked with GMMTV via "Friend Zone".

Pearwah Nichaphat - She has worked with GMMTV in 2016 ("Lovey Dovey") , 2018 ("Friend Zone"), and this year (a guest appearance in "Wolf") .

Best Nathasit - Since Nat and Pearwah are also onboard, looks like "Friend Zone 2" is all set.

Toyy Pathompong - Technically a GMMTV artist, but it'll be his first time to do a GMMTV series. He's in a relationship with top GMMTV actress Mook Worranit.

Mild Wiraporn - She has done at least 1 GMMTV project every year since 2015.

Peak Pattarasaya - This is a homecoming of sorts for her as she's expected to be in her first GMMTV project in more than a decade. She was in the original "Love beyond Frontier" (with GolfMike and Toey Jarinporn) and its sequel.

Aom Sushar - It'll be her first time working with GMMTV.

Goy Arachaporn - It'll be her first time working with GMMTV.

Apple Lapisara - She was previously in "Ugly Duckling: Don't" and "U-Prince: Single Lawyer".

An interesting roster of veteran actors expected in next year's projects. Looks like GMMTV might embark finally on producing weeknight dramas for GMM25. I saw the following (and will try to post photos tomorrow):

Noom Santisuk - Has already appeared in 3 GMMTV dramas since last year ("Happy Birthday", "Endless Love" and the upcoming "A Gift for Whom You Hate").

Pock Piyatthida - It's her first time with GMMTV.

Rudklao - It's her first time with GMMTV.

Kob Songsit - It's his first time with GMMTV, though according to Wikipedia his sitcom with Tang and Mos back in the 1990's was produced by GMMTV's predecessor.

Ae Maneerat - She previously worked with GMMTV on "Wake Up Ladies" (where she got nominated in Asian Television Awards) and "The Sand Princess".

Utt Uttsada - He had a guest appearance in "Wolf" and reunited there with his former student in "Hormones" Punpun.

Bird Wanchana - OMG OMG OMG! Are we having "The Gifted Season 2"?!

Biggest surprise so far is that there's no poster of Newwie (New Thitipoom). I saw a post that he won't be in the event and will work on projects soon.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1181591290124877826

I hope it just means that he's just not available for the event, and not he won't be working with GMMTV next year. (Though the latter is possible as he has just finished his masters and he's had at least 2 GMMTV projects yearly since 2014 or 2015. He might need a break.)

Wow you are like wiki of Gmm for us @inbetweener_guy!!! Thank you so much!

I wonder if New is going to concentrate on his teaching for 2020.

I can't wait to see The Gifted 2 and it sounds like Peeraya's reunion might be Thousand Stars Story.

I'm also curious to know what Joss next project will be (beside the one with Noon). I need a BL series for him lol.

There were 12 series and 1 film announced during the event. I've already created threads in the main drama forum.

And there's no Newwie in any of the dramas!

Mek Jirakit and Apple Lapisara were both in the event but I didn't see them in any of the series. I expect lead roles for both of them. Mek is after all one of GMMTV's original boys (and his sister Mook has 2 dramas) and Apple had U-Prince in her last project with the company.

Amongst the main BL boys

Singto - 2 main roles (both ensemble casting, unless Girl Next Door is a la U-Prince/Ugly Duckling)
Krist - 2 main roles
Off - 2 main roles (both ensemble casting, same with Singto)
Gun - 1 main role (ensemble casting). Looks like he's doing just 1 project with GMMTV a year since 2016
New - No project
Tay - 1 main role (a 3rd wheel with Krist and Peak)
