Created by Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan, 'Deadloch' picks up with a man turning up dead on a beach in the once sleepy titular Tasmanian seaside town.
Bunya Productions' 'Mystery Road: Origin' explores how a tragic death, an epic love, and the brutal reality of life as a police officer straddling two worlds, form the mould out which Detective Jay Swan emerges.
The epic four-part series from Goalpost Television will air over two weeks, starting October 13 at 9.30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand.
"I like the attention we put on having much more well-rounded female characters but I get a little bee in my bonnet sometimes when all this focus gets put on these 'strong female characters'. Women are just strong - that’s how it is."
Bunya Productions' 'Mystery Road: Origin' is underway in Western Australia's Kalgoorlie-Boulder for the ABC, with a stacked ensemble cast to join Mark Coles Smith as a young Jay Swan.
