Foxtel was the big winner as the TV Week Logie Awards returned to Sydney for the first time in 37 years on Sunday, with comedy series 'Colin From Accounts' and courtroom drama 'The Twelve' both receiving three awards.
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.
Samuel Goldwyn Films continues to show a greater appetite for Australian films than any other North American distributor, with Jeremy Sims' 'RAMS' as the latest acquisition.
Brendan Cowell, Pallavi Sharda, Ngali Shaw, Catherine Van-Davies, Bishanyia Vincent and Damien Strouthos will star as jurors in Foxtel's courtroom drama 'The Twelve'.
Sam Neill will return to Australian drama for the first time in more than a decade as part of Foxtel crime drama The Twelve, which begins production next week.
Bryan Brown and Sam Neill will star in Old School, an ABC series in the vein of the BBC comedy-drama New Tricks.
