Legendary Entertainment has returned to Queensland to film what is being billed as the biggest TV series ever to be shot in the sunshine state.
Based on the internationally best-selling novel by Australian Gregory David Roberts, 'Shantaram' will start streaming on Apple TV+ from October 14.
It's been a big year for Australian animator, director and producer Bernard Derriman, who co-directed 'The Bob's Burgers Movie' and is also a consulting producer on Apple's 'Central Park' and Fox's 'Great North'.
When Elisabeth Moss was cast as the lead of AppleTV+'s 'Shining Girls', she soon asked a colleague from 'The Handmaid's Tale' to join her on the project: director Daina Reid.
AppleTV+'s 'Metropolis' will shoot in Victoria, with both state and federal governments also investing in new virtual production infrastructure and training at Docklands Studios Melbourne to support.
In AppleTV+'s 'Slow Horses', one of the characters describes their colleague, fellow British intelligence officer and tech specialist Roddy Ho, as an "insufferable prick". The prick in question is played by Australian Christopher Chung, who relished his “excellently obnoxious” role in the spy drama.
Paramount Television Studios and Anonymous Content's search for a second showrunner to work on the Apple TV+ drama 'Shantaram' has taken on added urgency following the exit of the creator/showrunner Eric Warren Singer.
Production of Apple TV+'s 'Shantaram' has been suspended after Justin Kurzel directed the first two episodes of the 10-part drama based on the novel by Gregory David Roberts.
