Production has just begun in Sydney on Cleverman, a six-part high-concept drama starring Game Of Thrones and Downton Abbey‘s Iain Glen.
The Australia-New Zealand co-production is described as a “sexy and dangerous” drama set in the near future where a group of nonhumans battle for survival in a world where humans feel increasingly inferior and want to silence, exploit and kill them. It’s based on an original concept by Ryan Griffen and focuses on two estranged indigenous brothers who are forced together to fight for their own survival. Otherworldly creatures also emerge into this “real world” dystopian landscape.
Also starring are Frances O’Connor (The Missing), Deborah Mailman (The Sapphires), Hunter Page-Lochard (The Sapphires), Rob Collins (The Lion King), Stef Dawson (The Hunger Games), Ryan Corr (The Water Diviner), Tasma Walton (Mystery Road), Rarriwuy Hick (Redfern Now), Tony Briggs (The Slap), Robyn Nevin (Top Of The Lake), Lynette Curran (Wentworth Prison) and Jack Charles (Gods Of Wheat Street).
