Foxtel has announced a raft of new cast members for the second season of 'Upright', with Noni Hazlehurst, Jessica McNamee, Hayley McElhinney, and Darren Gilshenan joining Tim Minchin and 'House of the Dragon' star Milly Alcock in the dramedy.
As a father of four, writer-director Storm Ashwood had long wanted to make a film that targets teenagers, including the often difficult transition from childhood innocence to adult responsibility.
Tim Minchin's Lucky and Milly Alcock's Meg are set to hit the open road again November 15 when the second season of 'Upright' debuts on Foxtel.
Lingo Pictures’ dramedy 'Upright' starring Tim Minchin and Milly Alcock will premiere on Fox Showcase on Sunday December 1 at 8.30 pm.
Dispelling the notion that Foxtel has cut back on its commitment to Australian drama, the pay TV platform is in the hunt for shows that would not appear anywhere else on Australian screens and for a returning series to fill the gap left by 'A Place to Call Home'.
Aisha Dee, Sam Reid, and Milly Alcock will carry Australian hopes at next month's Critics Choice Association Super Awards, designed to recognise the superhero, science fiction/fantasy, horror, and action genres across film and television.
High-profile talent on both sides of camera punctuate the four feature films, three television dramas, and one virtual reality project that will share in more than $6.5 million of production funding from Screen Australia.
When Lingo Pictures' 'The Secrets She Keeps' premieres on BBC One at 9pm on July 6, it will mark a milestone as the first Australian-produced TV drama to screen in primetime on the BBC's flagship channel - at least in recent memory.
