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.
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'.
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.
The casting directors of '1%', 'Breath', 'Sweet Country' and 'The Merger' are the finalists in the feature film category of the Casting Guild of Australia Awards.
