Offering home grown dramedy with a supernatural twist, Dead Ahead is a new series launching this coming Monday on TVNZ+.
Centred around the Wharekoa family who have recently returned to Aotearoa after years away living in London, it's the latest bi-lingual show on the platform, with characters speaking in both English and Te Reo Māori.
We obviously can't give too much away but it involves secrets, surprises and three mischievous kēhua - ghosts.

Award winning actor Scotty Cotter from Kura, The Sounds and Shortland Street, co-created the series and he talks to Susie and Mihingarangi about spirituality and the creative process.
