TORONTO — A romantic-comedy webseries from "Shang-Chi" star Simu Liu is bound for CBC Gem later this month.
Liu, who shot to global fame with "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" after appearing on CBC's "Kim's Convenience," co-created "Hello (Again)" with Toronto-based writer Nathalie Younglai.
The duo also co-wrote the first four episodes together. There are nine 10-minute episodes.
Directed by Melanie Chung, the show stars Alex Mallari Jr. as a line cook named Jayden, and Rong Fu as an emergency room resident, Avery, who meet, quickly fall in love and eventually break up.
Six months later, Jayden finds himself travelling back in time to when he met Avery, when he must either fix his past mistakes and win her back or let history repeat itself.
Production company 100 Dragons says the series will premiere March 25.
Liu, who can next be seen hosting the Juno Awards in May, also serves as executive producer alongside Younglai and Mallari Jr.
