Territory, the biggest Netflix series ever to be filmed in South Australia, will premiere on Netflix on 24 October 2024.
Formerly titled Desert King, both production and post-production took place in SA and was supported by the South Australian Film Corporation. The series also filmed in the Northern Territory, with support from the Northern Territory Government.
Set in the remote and unforgiving Australian outback, the neo-western series follows a fight for power, land and legacy when Marianne Station - the world’s largest cattle station - is left without a clear successor.
Sensing the once-great Lawson family dynasty is in decline, the outback’s most powerful factions — rival cattle barons, desert gangsters, Indigenous elders and billionaire miners — move in for the kill. With billions of dollars at stake, everyone wants a piece of the pie.
Featuring a star-studded cast including Anna Torv, Michael Dorman, Sam Corlett and Robert Taylor, Territory is a joint production between Easy Tiger and Ronde. It was created by Timothy Lee and Ben Davies and produced by South Australian producer Paul Ranford.
SAFC CEO Kate Croser said at the time of filming last year: “This major new series is the latest exciting example of the fruitful screen production alliance that exists between South Australia and Northern Territory, where the SAFC’s flexible Adelaide Studios production facilities, coupled with South Australia’s world-class crews and PDV providers, provides the perfect base for productions filming at locations across both regions."
“The SAFC is proud to support this exciting new series which will utilise a majority South Australian crew comprising post-production services and key creatives, including top South Australian producer Paul Ranford, and which will once again provide a showcase for our state’s screen production capability and talent.”
The series began production in South Australia last year, supported by the SAFC's Screen Production Fund and SA PDV Rebate, with crews utilising the SAFC's Adelaide Studios facilities and filming out on location.
