Jacki Weaver, Bryan Brown, Phoebe Tonkin, Ryan Corr, Daniel Henshall and Sam Reid head the cast of Bloom, a supernatural love story packed with adventure, mystery and horror
Nine Entertainment CEO Hugh Marks has set a lofty target for Stan once the streaming service is fully owned by the merged NEC/Fairfax Media.
Following on from their collaboration on feature film 'The Second', Screen Queensland and Stan have partnered on a new fund that will support both up-and-coming and established creatives to develop high-end drama series for the streaming service.
Celebrating passing the milestone of 1 million subscribers, Stan has announced it has commissioned two Australian dramas, 'The Gloaming' and 'Bloom', and a 'No Activity' Christmas special.
THE SECOND follows the author of a celebrated erotic memoir, whose newfound success is threatened when her best friend and muse reveals the truth behind the memoir's provenance, igniting an incendiary tale of sex, lies and betrayal.
Director Mairi Cameron feels grateful her feature debut 'The Second' has the potential to reach a wider audience than “a little Australian film” of its ilk typically might.
Three years after launch, Stan is on a roll, reaching 930,000 active subscribers and approaching break-even.
The BBC has acquired the Stan-commissioned 'Romper Stomper', which will premiere early this year on the youth-skewing BBC3.
