NEW BRETT TUCKER SERIES IS AIRING

Blue Murder Motel airs from March 7th

Airing as of yesterday, Saturday March 7th on Australian broadcaster ABC is new mini TV series BLUE MURDER MOTEL starring Brett Tucker and Michala Banas.

Both of them followed the police path until the very recent final years of their careers as senior homicide detectives. Working together, living and loving together, it’s fair to say that police investigations and murder were a 24/7 thing for Vinny and Cole. But now – for reasons the Colemans are keeping to themselves – it is time to leave all that behind. Blue Motel, in the summery beach town of Mōwai Bay in New Zealand, offered the perfect escape, the ultimate retirement dream. But only six weeks into their new life, that dream has taken an unexpected, annoying turn when a body is discovered in Unit 3. The series already aired on TVNZ in New Zealand back in January.

BLUE MURDER HOTEL. I directed episodes three and six. It starts in New Zealand Sunday on TVNZ+ & TVNZ1 at 8:45pm. It was my huge pleasure to have been part of those episodes. I think you’ll really enjoy this series.@TVNZ pic.twitter.com/MRDyc5xMK8
