NEW YORK (July 12, 2023) – Production has recently wrapped on the new drama comedy series, Mother, May I Have A Kidney? created by Veronica Reyes-How, one of the first female Filipino showrunners, starring Doug Plaut (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Hurricane Bianca franchise), Tina Benko (The Greatest Showman, The Rehearsal, for which she won an EmmyⓇ for Best Supporting Actress in a Digital Series), Darius de Haas (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Charlotte Ray Rosenberg (Sneaky Pete, FBI: Most Wanted), Troy Iwata (Dash and Lily, Summoning Sylvia), and features Myra Lucretia Taylor, Lydia Gaston, and Drew McVety. Acclaimed casting director, Paul Schnee, known for his work on films such as Spotlight, Winter’s Bone, and The Girl On The Train, makes his directorial debut. Mother, May I Have A Kidney? is scripted by Reyes-How. Casting is by Rachel Goldman.
Executive producers are Veronica Reyes-How and Doug Plaut for Goldfish Pajamas. Producers are Benjamin J. Murray and Michael Christensen for Incline Productions.
A young man’s kidney is failing. Unfortunately, his best match for a transplant is his long and deeply estranged mother. Through the first season, we follow him on a journey as he tries to reconnect and rebuild relationships with his family. He humorously muddles through, bolstered by the support of his NYC friends and mentor, in search of the healing he desperately needs.
Mother, May I Have A Kidney? is a powerful reminder of the importance of family and the transformative power of forgiveness.
“I’ve known Doug and Veronica for a while and was eager for the chance to work on Mother, May I Have A Kidney? with them. I was attracted to what I see as the fundamental crux of the script: a family that has lost touch, not out of animosity, but simply by not talking to one another about the vulnerabilities that are at the heart of any relationship, out of fear that they would come up short in the eyes of the others. Mother, May I Have A Kidney? examines the funny and touching way that missed connections with those we love can lead to missed opportunities and that it’s never too late to reconcile,” said Schnee.
"It was thrilling to work with such a talented team in front of and behind the camera as they brought life to these compelling and heart-breaking characters in Mother, May I Have A Kidney? I often write stories about fractured families working towards reconciliation, and I believe audiences will enjoy the difficult and hilarious paths these characters take to achieve it." Said Reyes-How.
