NETFLIX is celebrating Chinese New Year 2020 by releasing an original series, The Ghost Bride, which is set in 1890s Malacca, Malaysia’s historic entrepôt.

It’s basically a schlocky ghost story: a young woman is invited to marry into a wealthy family to help her debt-ridden father. Here’s the catch: the groom is deceased, and his ghost enlists her to avenge his death.
