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.
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.
"It will be in history, in terms of what it did for the industry' showcasing all those amazing female actors."
Foxtel has backed the development of drama series 'The Twelve', which follows a murder trial from the perspective of the jurors and will be produced by Warner Bros. Television International Australia and Liz Watts' new venture Spirit Pictures.
