When Endemol Shine Australia's Mark Fennessy and Imogen Banks started developing a drama inspired by the Royal Flying Doctors Service two years ago, neither could have imagined how much more topical and relevant the subject would become.
Based on real-life stories, Seven/Endemol Shine Banks' 'RFDS' portrays the modern-day heroes of the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
Seven Network action drama 'RFDS' will launch in a further six territories following its Australian premiere this month after securing a slew of international sales.
SBS will bring more new voices to the forefront in its upcoming drama slate, which includes four short-form productions from its Digital Originals initiative, as well as the upcoming series 'Safe Home', from producer Imogen Banks.
Endemol Shine Australia's 'RFDS' is set to take off again, with Seven officially commissioning a second season.
Distributor Banijay Rights has confirmed further sales of Seven Network action drama RFDS to territories in Europe and the Middle East.
Anyone watching new Netflix mystery/thriller 'Echoes' believing it to be creator Vanessa Gazy's follow-up to Stan Original 'Eden' might be surprised to learn the idea for the series came well before that of last year's mystery drama.
SBS thriller series 'Safe Home' follows Phoebe (Aisha Dee), a twenty-something professional who leaves her job at a prominent law firm to work at a struggling family violence legal centre.
