I have two new Australian shows to present to you today, spylings, beginning with TREASURE & DIRT which arrives to their national broadcaster ABC July 19th with our dear Michael Dorman, whom you watched in Territory series, in the lead role. The story of the six part crime thriller is set in the scorched, dust choked opal mining town of Nulla, where the brutal beheading of local miner pulls big-city detective Ivan Lucic (Dorman) into a labyrinthine case with no easy answers. Assigned to him is ambitious rookie detective Nell Buchanan (Liv Hewson) who knows Nulla’s lawless, corrupt underbelly far better than he does. Together, they’re drawn into a strange, surreal underworld of secrets, greed, and old sins that won’t stay buried. Dean O'Gorman and Eamon Farren also star.
THE KILLINGS AT PARRISH STATION
New six part series hits Stan next week
Arriving
even sooner, next week actually - June 24th to Australian streamer Stan
is six episode mystery crime drama THE KILLINGS AT PARRISH STATION. In
1987, detectives Georgia Cooke (Mia Wasikowska) and Michael Thorne
(Xavier Samuel) are called to investigate the bizarre and brutal
killings of four scientists at the remote Parrish Research Station. They
uncover a complex case involving mania, ritual, and the occult, and
Georgia's obsessive truth-seeking spirals, threatening her family,
career, and sanity. Thirty seven years later, a chilling new spree of
murders pull Georgia (Heather Mitchell) back into this nightmare as she
confronts the possibility that the horrors at Parrish Station were never
fully buried.
A couple of new Australian dramas for you today, starting with ABC's TREASURE AND DIRT which will also air on BBC in UK starring Michael Dorman and Liv Hewson. He plays homicide detective Ivan Lucic who is sent to investigate the mysterious and grisly murder of a miner in an Outback opal town. Joined by rural detective Nell Buchanan, the two are drawn into a labyrinth of secrets, greed and old sins that won’t stay buried. As the case twists into something darker and more surreal, Ivan and Nell can’t tell whether it’s the town that’s unravelling or themselves. Eamon Farren and Dean O’Gorman also star.
DUSTFALL WITH ANNA TORV
Also coming from ABC and also to air on BBC One as well next year is another six part drama DUSTFALL a propulsive, atmospheric Tropic Noir that follows Anna Torv as a detective whose deep sense of justice is challenged by a world where victims are doubted, predators hide in plain sight,
and the legal system too often falls short. When seasoned detective
Tig, returning to her hometown of North Gap after years in the city,
uncovers a string of drink spiking assaults, the case is turned on its
head when one of the main suspects is murdered. Juliet Stevenson and Jay Ryan also star.
Itwas previously known as Desert King but will now stream as TERRITORY from October 24th with Newsreader's Anna Torv and Vikings: Valhalla's Sam Corlett in the lead roles.

THE STORY OF TERRITORY CENTRES on
Marianne Station, a cattle station left without a clear successor that
is the subject of generational clashes between the Lawsons.

powerful factions – rival cattle barons, desert gangsters, Indigenous
elders, and billionaire miners – move in
for the kill. With billions of
dollars at stake, everyone wants a piece of the pie. It is the latest series of high quality production we are getting from Down Under!
