Not long after Foxtel announced plans to double its output of new Australian scripted, factual, lifestyle and entertainment programming by 2018, we find out that the company is already working on a new event mini-series. Starring Anna Torv, Damon Herriman and Dan Wyllie, Secret City is a political thriller scheduled to air in March 2016 on showcase.
Here’s a first look at the synopsis: beneath the placid facade of Canberra, amidst rising tension between China and America, senior political journalist Harriet Dunkley (Torv) uncovers a secret city of interlocked conspiracies, putting innocent lives in danger – including her own.
“This new event mini-series is further commitment by Foxtel to explore bold and interesting ideas for the screen and commission unique Australian storytelling to complement the best of the international series which are on offer to our subscribers,” Foxtel Executive Director of Television Brian Walsh said.
Secret City is a Matchbox Pictures production for Foxtel, supported by Screen Australia and Screen ACT. The series will air in March 2016 on showcase.
