The new Peacock series, One Of Us Is Lying is now streaming and follows the story of five high school students who walk into detention, but only four of them make it out alive. The series will follow the investigation of those four students to find out what really happened in detention and how Simon died. The series comes after the New York Times bestseller book of the same name. Fil-Canadian actress, singer, dancer Zenia Marshall landed a recurring role as Keely in the series.

The series originally filmed in Auckland, New Zealand for five months until a strict COVID-19 restriction had the production moved to Toronto, Canada. Her character Keely is presented as half-Filipina in the series and dates Cooper, the popular baseball jock. Like many high school storylines, there's tons of secrets and drama. However, Zenia shared that her character was also written in to be half-Filipino, half-white in the book.

"...this is like the first time I've actually seen that intended and written down with intention of that. I've been auditioning for about seven years. I had never, in my life had seen a Filipino role come in. Usually if there are certain roles that they'll put in, that'll be like Asian character, but then it will be really broad and there won't be any specificity to it. So, it was definitely my first time seeing that." Zenia is excited to represent her roots not only through her character, but she also hopes to see more diverse opportunities in the industry.

Watch the story unfold on Peacock as the first 3 episodes of One of Us is Lying are now available to stream!
