WarnerMedia Sets New Original Series from the Philippines

WarnerMedia has in the works a new original series from the Philippines, On the Job.

Inspired by true events, On the Job centers on crime syndicates that temporarily release prison inmates to carry out political assassinations for those in power. However, the crime syndicates themselves are run by politicians.

The 6×1-hour crime thriller is slated to premiere exclusively on HBO GO in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan in September. It will also air later on the region’s HBO channel.

The limited series is in both English and Filipino and filmed in the Philippines.

Magdalene Ew, WarnerMedia’s head of content for entertainment for India, Southeast Asia and Korea, said: “Since 2013, when part of the story was released theatrically, interest in this project has been really high. We’re so pleased to offer HBO GO audiences a first look at On the Job as a limited series, one of our first from the Philippines. It is the work of some of the country’s top creative and storytelling talent.”
