  THE LAST ANNIVERSARY  

FIRST TRAILER FOR THE NEW TV SERIES

Binge and BBC have released first trailer for their new six episode comedy series THE LAST ANNIVERSARY set on Scribbly Gum Island, a place of many secrets. The one that made it famous – the disappearance of a young couple decades ago – might have made the island a destination for true crime tourists but when it comes to secrets, the three generations of women that call Scribbly Gum home hold far more. When Sophie Honeywell (Teresa  Palmer) inherits a house on the island, left only to her by her ex-boyfriend’s great-aunt Connie, it’s the fresh start she’s craving, despite the unwelcome reception she receives on arrival. Single and approaching 40, Sophie is intrigued by something else Connie left her – a promise that she might finally find the man of her dreams on the Island. But perhaps what Sophie needs is an island full of women instead? Miranda Richardson also stars in the series that will air on BBC, Binge and Foxtel from March 27th based on a Liane Moriarty novel.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE CLEARING MYSTERY MINI SERIES WITH GUY PEARCE, MIRANDA OTTO AND TERESA PALMER

  THE CLEARING SERIES  

FROM DISNEY + AND HULU

Looking at the May and June TV schedule I really cannot promise you anything exciting, sadly, and I am guessing it will be even worse in July and August, not to mention Autumn, which will probably be a

The Clearing starts May 24th on Disney and Hulu

terribly dry season not just because of the current writers' strike but also because we will not have Rings of Power or any of the historical series on kings and queens that we had last year. This means we will not be able to be picky and choosy. The spy will try to focus on the international markets as much as possible, and after France, Holland and UK earlier this week, today we are going Down Under where new eight part mini series THE CLEARING awaits us: it will arrive to Hulu and Disney Plus May 24th with an Australian cast that includes Guy Pearce, Miranda

The series will have eight episodes

Otto and Teresa Palmer. The series is inspired by the darkness of real-life cults in Australia and around the world. 

 

THE STORY

When a local girl goes missing, it triggers a woman’s memories from her childhood as a member of The Kindred – one of the female-led cults in history. Based on the crime thriller by J.P. Pomare, this exclusive original series follows the nightmares of a cult and a woman who’s forced to face the demons from her past in order to stop the kidnapping and coercion of innocent children in the future. THE CLEARING is an emotional and psychological thriller that burrows under the skin and inside the mind, blurring the lines between past and present, reality and nightmare.

  REBEL MOON CROWNS 

ED SKREIN AS THE REGENT

Ed Skrein will be the galactic regent

And it is an unexpected move, as Ed Skrein is actually replacing Rupert Friend in the role of a galactic tyrant in Zack Snyder's science fiction epic REBEL MOON that he is shooting for Netflix. Cleopatra Coleman, Fra Fee and Rhian Rees have also joined the rather hunky ensemble of actors that already includes Stuart Martin, Cary Elwes, Corey Stoll, Michiel Huisman, Sofia Boutella, Charlie Hunnam, Djimon Hounsou and Alfonso Herrera! The story of the new sf epic is set in a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy that finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisarius, so they send a young woman (Boutella) with a mysterious past to seek out warriors from neighboring planets to help them raise a fight.

 MARY'S MONSTER CASTS

Although it has already been covered in other movies, the life of Mary Shelley will be the focus on new movie MARY'S MONSTER which has just cast Clara Rugaard as Mary and Kit Harington as her monster. In the

SLATE WITH MIRANDA OTTO, JESSE SPENCER, GUY PEARCE!

Jesse Spencer will star in Space Age

Disney + has unveiled three series that they will shoot within their Australian slate. THE CLEARING will cover Australian cult The Family and its founder Anne Hamilton Byrne, one of the few female cult leaders in history. A rather strong cast will be led by Teresa Palmer, Miranda Otto, Guy Pearce, Hazem Shammas, Mark Coles-Smith and Tom Budge! THE ARTFUL DODGER will be a premium character drama set in 1850s Australia, 15 years after the events of Oliver Twist. The eight-episode series follows the adult double life of Charles Dickens’ famous prince of thieves – Dodger – now a surgeon, but who can’t shake his predilection for crime. Jesse Spencer and Radha Mitchell will lead LAST DAYS OF THE SPACE AGE, an eight-part dramedy series set in 1979 Perth in Western Australia, as a power strike threatens to plunge the region into darkness, while the city hosts the iconic
