Summary
- A supernatural workplace comedy series is in production in Los Angeles.
- The show features a Filipina nurse supervisor who can see ghosts.
- It's the first bilingual English-Tagalog series produced by iWant in the US.
A new supernatural workplace comedy, "Nurse the Dead," is being produced in Los Angeles by Philippines media giant ABS-CBN's streaming platform iWant. The half-hour series centers on Noa Reyes, a driven Filipina nurse supervisor with a "third eye" that allows her to see ghosts. This unique ability makes her the designated handler for a hospital ward filled with restless spirits, while she simultaneously navigates staff burnout, personal pressures, and a mysterious coworker.
The series represents a major milestone for iWant, being its first bilingual English-Tagalog production filmed in the United States. Production began recently in Los Angeles and is scheduled to conclude by the second week of February. Mark Labella is showrunner, creator, writer, and director, collaborating with directors Wesley Villarica and Drea Castro.
