Earlier this year it was announced that leading Australian production company, Playmaker, had produced the Victoria-based series in partnership with Sony Pictures Television which is set to be distributed globally.

Production has already began on the series with acclaimed film director, John Curran (Tracks, Chappaquiddick, Praise) at the helm of the highly anticipated project.

The show is set one year after a mass flood claimed the lives of five locals in a country town and in its place, a ~mysterious~ new plant appears with the ability to restore their youth.

Stan’s Chief Content Officer, Nick Forward said of the star-studded cast via the show’s press release:

“The assembled cast, including the remarkable Jacki Weaver, is a testament to the uniqueness of Glen’s vision, the scale of the production and the calibre of Playmaker and Sony as our local and international partners on the project. With a director of John’s track record behind the camera we couldn’t be more excited to be kicking off production across Victoria on our biggest Original yet.”
