The highly anticipated Thai Girls’ Love drama The Earth (วิวาห์ปฐพี) has officially confirmed its premiere date, marking a major milestone for fans who have been waiting since the project’s announcement last year. As the first instalment in the ambitious 4 Elements: Baan Wathinwanit universe, the series is set to debut on 24 January 2026, opening the door to a shared narrative world built around four siblings and their intertwined destinies.
Directed by Fuse Kittisak Cheewasatjasakun, The Earth blends romance, family duty, and personal growth, with its story rooted in a long-standing childhood connection that evolves under pressure.
Broadcast Schedule and Where to Watch The Earth GL Series
The series will air on Channel 7 (CH7) at 8:30 PM local time, making it accessible to a wide television audience. For viewers seeking the extended cut, an uncut version will be available exclusively on iQIYI at 9:30 PM, offering additional scenes and deeper character development.
Story Synopsis: From Protection to Partnership
Rose Thippapha, the heir to the Chomchan agricultural estate, returns from the United States following an accident involving her stepfather. Her homecoming, however, quickly takes a tense turn when she becomes the target of Vasu, a powerful vineyard owner attempting to seize her land for unlawful operations.
Stepping into the situation is Din Kasama Wathinwanit, Rose’s childhood friend and the principled owner of an organic vegetable farm.

To ensure Rose’s safety and secure her future, the two agree to a marriage of convenience—one intended as protection rather than romance.
As they navigate shared responsibilities and renewed closeness, emotional boundaries begin to shift. What starts as a practical arrangement slowly develops into something genuine, challenging both characters to confront feelings they once left behind.
The series is adapted from the novel The Earth (วิวาห์ปฐพี) by Salmon, bringing a familiar literary work to the screen with a contemporary visual approach.

The siblings representing Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire will each headline their own story within the wider 4 Elements universe.
What to Expect from The Earth
Viewers can expect a carefully paced romantic drama that balances emotional intimacy with grounded storytelling. Rather than relying on spectacle, The Earth focuses on relationship-building, trust, and the quiet tension that comes from shared history.
The series also places strong emphasis on family legacy, land stewardship, and moral choices, giving the romance a broader social and personal context.
Early behind-the-scenes material has drawn attention for its warm chemistry between the lead actresses and its naturalistic setting.
As the opening chapter of the 4 Elements project, The Earth is designed not only to stand on its own, but also to establish emotional and narrative foundations for the stories that will follow.
4 Elements: The Grand Unveiling Event
Ahead of the broadcast, the four leading actresses representing Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire will appear together at 4 Elements: The Grand Unveiling on 11 January 2026.
Ticket sales are scheduled to begin on 27 December, offering fans an early opportunity to engage with the project before its on-screen debut.
With its confirmed premiere, strong source material, and a clearly defined place within a larger narrative universe, The Earth is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched Thai GL releases of 2026. Its success will likely set the tone for the remaining entries in the 4 Elements series, making this first chapter particularly significant for both viewers and creators alike.
