Rachel Griffiths, Jacki Weaver, Claudia Karvan, and Steph Tisdell will appear on SBS next year, albeit in a factual capacity, as the broadcaster unveiled a host of new documentary series at its upfronts today.
A new romance from Easy Tiger spanning Australia and India, along with some star power for previously announced crime drama 'Swift Street', led the scripted announcements for SBS as it unveiled its "biggest ever content line-up" for 2024 today.
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.
The continued rise of streaming services has created a favourable climate for original scripted content while also highlighting the importance of investing in local unscripted programs, according to SBS heads of department Julie Eckersley and John Godfrey.
