LOOK: ABS-CBN’s streaming giant makes history with its first bilingual English-Tagalog series produced in the U.S., exploring the Filipino healthcare experience through a supernatural lens. iWant has officially pulled back the curtain on "Nurse the Dead," a groundbreaking bilingual series currently filming in Los Angeles. This isn't your typical medical drama—it’s a supernatural dark comedy that follows Noa Reyes (played by Jelynn Malone). Created and directed by Mark Labella, the series uses ghost stories as a powerful metaphor for the real-life resilience and grief of Filipino healthcare workers in the U.S. Labella notes that the show honors the disproportionate sacrifices made by Filipino nurses while maintaining a sharp, humorous edge. The production boasts a stellar bridge of talent between Manila and Hollywood: • Jelynn Malone leads as the ghost-seeing supervisor, Noa. • Anthony Jennings, fresh off the success of Incognito, joins as "Grim." • Legendary Filipina actress Princess Punzalan, Ruby Rodriguez, and OPM star Tootsie Guevarra. • The cast also includes Gigette Reyes (Freakier Friday) and Johari Johnson (9-1-1: Lone Star). As iWant expands its global footprint, Head of iWant Jolly Estaris emphasizes that this project is a "boldly Filipino" step toward connecting with the diaspora. With production wrapping this February, "Nurse the Dead" promises to be a hauntingly funny tribute to the heart and soul of Filipino nursing. #NurseTheDead #iWant
