It should work like this:
1) the book I'm reading: tags:"=currently reading"
2) all the books in the same series with column #read:false

Is there a way to do it?
(The difficult part is the "books in the same series" bit)
Multi-step but it should work.

Prerequisite: ensure the "Mark books" action is in the "context menu for the books in the library".

1) select the book being currently read.
2) right click on the book, select Mark Books / clear all marks
3) right click again, select Mark Books / books in selected series
4) search for (or have a virtual library set up for) marked:true and #read:false

There are variants that depending on your work flow might be easier. For example you could have a VL showing #read:false as long as that is true if tags contains "=currently reading".
