Outback? Check. BIG money? Check. Juicy story line? Check. Today, Netflix dropped the first look at their new outback drama, Territory and if you’re a fan of Yellowstone, then this is going to be right up your… cattle drove.
What is the series about?
When Marianne Station is left without a clear successor, generational clashes threaten to tear the Lawson family apart. Sensing this once-great dynasty is in decline, the outback’s most 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.
Sounds good right? Well, just wait because the show is also jam packed with heaps of Aussie talent like Anna Torv (The Newsreader, The Last of Us) as Emily Lawson, Michael Dorman (For All Mankind, Patriot) as Graham Lawson and so many more.
Where was the series filmed?
Cameras rolled throughout the stunning Northern Territory and South Australia in locations so remote they’re barely inhabited, let alone shown on-screen! Locations include the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park — with special permission from the Traditional Owners — and Tipperary Station, a real-life, working cattle station that’s so large it has its own airfield and school.
Have you caught up on our other Netflix obsession, Baby Reindeer?
Territory is from creators Timothy Lee (Mystery Road, Bump) and Ben Davies (Bondi Rescue, The First Inventors, Outback Ringer). Executive producers are Davies, Rob Gibson (The Twelve, Colin from Accounts), and Ian Collie (Jack Irish, Scrublands)… so need we say more that this looks like it’s going to be the biggest Aussie export since… well, beef, maybe?
While we wait for a trailer to drop, we’ll be marking the calendar for October 24!
