iWant, the home of Filipino stories, continues to deliver a blend of humor and horror with its newest supernatural comedy original Nurse the Dead, which premiered on June 12 (Friday) on the streaming platform.
Marking a milestone as iWant’s first Filipino-produced series filmed in Hollywood, Nurse the Dead is helmed by award-winning Filipino-American filmmaker and screenwriter Mark Labella. The series features an ensemble cast led by Fil-Am actress and host Jelynn Sophia Malone, alongside Anthony Jennings, Princess Punzalan, Ruby Rodriguez, Gigette Reyes, and Tootsie Guevara.
The story follows Noa Reyes (Jelynn Sophia Malone), a dedicated Filipina nurse navigating the pressures of work and personal life—while secretly possessing the ability to see and interact with spirits that linger within the facility she works in.
Beyond its supernatural comedy elements, the series also highlights the real-life experiences and sacrifices of Filipino nurses abroad, drawing inspiration from the showrunner’s mother, who works as a nursing professional in the United States.
New episodes of Nurse the Dead continue to stream every Friday exclusively on iWant, available via subscription plans starting at P35/month in the Philippines, USD 12.99/month in the U.S., and USD 4.99/month in other regions. The series is accessible via the iWant app on Google Play and the Apple App Store.
