Matthew Sato is set as a series regular opposite Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Kathleen Rose Perkins, Jason Scott Lee and Mapuana Makia in Disney+’s upcoming comedy series Doogie Kamealoha, M.D.
Sato will play Kia, the brother of Dr. Lahela Kamealoha.
Written by Kourtney Kang and set in present-day Hawaii, Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. reimagines the Neil Patrick Harris-starring Doogie Howser M.D. as a half-hour medical dramedy with a female lead. It follows Lahela “Doogie” Kameāloha (Peyton Elizabeth Lee), a 16-year-old mixed-race girl who juggles a budding medical career and life as a teenager. Guiding Lahela — and also complicating things — is her family, including her spitfire Irish mother Dr. Clara Hannon (Perkins), who’s also Chief of Staff at the hospital and Lahela’s supervisor, and her Hawaiian “Local Boy” father (Jason Scott Lee) who struggles to accept that his daughter is no longer his little girl.
