The Alibi is a Philippine television drama romantic thriller series broadcast by Amazon Prime Video and Kapamilya Channel. Directed by Onat Diaz, FM Reyes and Jojo Saguin, it stars Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino. It aired on Amazon Prime Video from November 7 to December 19, 2025. The extended version of the series, titled The Alibi: Ang Buong Katotohanan (), aired on the Kapamilya Channel's Primetime Bida line up from March 16 to July 24, 2026.
Premise Vincent, an heir to a news empire, gets accused of killing his rival, Walter. To protect his reputation, he hires Stella, an escort with her own haunted past, to pose as his alibi. What begins as a transactional arrangement soon becomes dangerously real as their shared wounds and ambitions draw them together. But when they uncover the truth, the two are compelled to confront their true feelings.
Alternate ending Before the broadcast of the 2026 extended television version, the series concluded with a tragic ending in its original 14-episode release. In the finale, "Breaking Point", Vincent is fatally shot while protecting Stella. At his funeral, Stella delivers a eulogy before the narrative jumps forward by two years, where the series ends with Stella, accompanied by her family and friends, visiting Vincent's grave to share the news of her achieving her degree.
In the extended television version, Vincent survives his injuries. The series then concludes with Vincent and Stella beginning a new chapter of their lives together in Canada. The extended ending also reuses part of Stella's eulogy as a voiceover before the scenes depicting Vincent and Stella's new life in Canada.
