Foxtel has teamed up with Umbrella Entertainment's AVOD platform Brollie to launch Aussie Classics, a channel dedicated to showcasing the very best of Australia’s cinematic and television heritage.
Foxtel Group executive director for commissioning and content Alison Hurbert-Burns is set to depart the company after more than six years.
Former Foxtel Group chief commercial and content officer and Binge managing director Amanda Laing has joined Nine in the newly created role of streaming and broadcast managing director, overseeing Stan, 9Now, broadcast television, and radio.
Further courtroom details have emerged for the third season of Foxtel drama 'The Twelve', with Danielle Cormack, Eryn Jean Norvill, Sarah Peirse, and William Zappa joining Sam Neill in the main cast.
Foxtel and Binge are looking to commission "bigger, better and fewer" Australian original series that can attract and maintain a mass audience of subscribers.
Previously announced dramas The Last Anniversary and Mix Tape, and returning series The Twelve and Strife will carry Binge's scripted slate next year as the Foxtel-owned streamer expands to incorporate sports and news.
The second season of Foxtel's The Twelve takes place against the backdrop of rural Western Australia, where a local landowner and respected town matriarch, Bernice Price (Kris McQuade), is found dead at the bottom of her farm’s pump well, leading two ex-lovers to stand accused of her murder.
