Neon has taken the North American rights to Kitty Green's 'The Royal Hotel', due to star Julia Garner, Jessica Henwick and Hugo Weaving.
Director Kitty Green re-teams with her 'The Assistant' star Julia Garner for thriller 'The Royal Hotel', following two best friends backpacking through the Australian outback. Joining Garner in the See-Saw Films feature are 'Knives Out 2' star Jessica Henwick and Hugo Weaving.
Australian drama may be nurtured at the public broadcasters but pay TV will push the envelope with the genre in 2022, Foxtel executive director of television Brian Walsh says.
"It's been a really tough year. It's nice to sit back and watch a show that feels good; makes you laugh a little bit, makes you cry a little bit."
Premiering on Binge on Boxing Day, six-part romantic drama 'Love Me' follows three different family members as they experience modern love at distinct times of their lives.
"Moving back to Australia last year I realised that we truly have such unique subcultures that I think would resonate with local and international audiences."
Foxtel has made its first commission specifically for streaming service Binge: six-part drama 'Love Me' from Warner Bros. International Television Production Australia.
Ivan Sen's latest feature 'Loveland', starring Ryan Kwanten, Jillian Nguyen and Hugo Weaving, will land in cinemas October 28 via Dark Matter Distribution.
