Qi Yuwu, Lawrence Wong and Kate Kinney in iQiyi's Southeast Asian Original series, The Ferryman: Legends Of Nanyang.

The horror fantasy drama features ghosts and spirits from Asian folklore and myths. Although The Ferryman was mostly filmed in Malaysia and its setting had been unclear earlier, it was apparent in screener clips shown to media that the series is set in Singapore.The Ferryman is a remake of iQiyi’s 2014 Mandarin language series of the same title, but with the setting changed to Southeast Asia instead of China – hence “Legends Of Nanyang” – and features an international cast.

The cast also includes Taiwanese actress Kate Kinney, as well as Singaporeans Jeanette Aw, Tay Ping Hui and Terence Cao, and Malaysian actresses Debbie Goh, Jojo Goh and Koe Yeet.Lawrence Wong, who is now based in China, shot to fame, and the Singaporean actor was later appointed as the Chinese streaming company's "International VIP Ambassador" to promote its shows outside China.
