Love in the time of a pandemic. While it’s certainly not the best time to go out, meet someone and fall in love, Key and Chen find each other in the middle of the enhanced community quarantine and connect in ways that surprise them both. As they get to know each other despite the restrictions, challenges and even dangers stemming from the pandemic, something very special starts to blossom between them. In a time when we’re forced to keep apart from each other, does love have the power to connect us?

Boys Lockdown is the brainchild of Bit By Bit Development Company (Ticket2Me) Founder and Executive Producer Darwin Mariano who was inspired to create his own BL series after the success of 2gether: The Series . He assembled a creative team in April 2020 to persuade Director Jade Castro to onboard and six months later, the first episode premiered. [3]

On November 12 due to Typhoon Ulysses that hit Metro Manila and many parts of Luzon, many in the post production team have been without power/internet the night before. Boys' Lockdown Executive Producer and Ticket2Me Founder-CEO Atty. Darwin Mariano decided to move Episode 5 release to November 19 to ensure his team can attend to their loved ones and stay safe as they complete their work for the episode. On the same day, Mariano organized a live YouTube broadcast for Bangon Luzon (Typhoon Relief) to call for donations to help those affected by the typhoons. [5] [6]
Olive and Libby were originally drafted as two separate roles (Mom and younger sister of Chen respectively), but were later combined as just an older sister due to quarantine restrictions to cast for a teenager role.
