HBO’s new Philippine comedy-drama “Call My Manager” explores the pressures and personal struggles faced by talent managers behind the glamorous world of show business.
Starring Judy Ann Santos, Edu Manzano, Gina Alajar and RK Bagatsing, the eight-episode series follows managers at the fictional Shine Artists Management as they handle demanding celebrity clients and industry challenges.
Adapted from the French hit “Call My Agent!”, the series premiered on HBO Max on August 13 and gives the story a distinctly Filipino setting and perspective.
Director Erik Matti described the show as a tribute to the entertainment industry, drawing from his experiences and memories of old-school Philippine showbiz.
The cast said the series highlights the human side of celebrities and managers, including the close, family-like relationships that often develop within Filipino entertainment teams.
