TV SERIES BASED ON AUSTRALIA

Although his Australia movie did prove a massive flop back in the days, Baz Luhrmann has now turned it into a six part series FARAWAY DOWNS with additional materials and it is set to launch November 26th on Hulu staring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman. She plays an English aristocrat, Lady Sarah Ashley who travels halfway across the world to confront her wayward husband and sell an unusual asset: a million-acre cattle ranch in the Australian Outback called Faraway Downs. Following the death of her husband, a ruthless Australian cattle baron, King Carney (Bryan Brown), plots to take her land and she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn cattle drover (Jackman) to protect her ranch. The sweeping adventure romance is explored through the eyes of young Nullah (Brandon Walters), a bi-racial Indigenous Australian child caught up in the government’s draconian racial policy now referred to as the “Stolen Generations.”
