Author and Executive Producer, Markus Zusak says: “I’m so excited to see this series on the ABC, and I think it’s something we can see ourselves in - our friendships and families, our laughter and flaws, and our willingness to see each other through, especially in the hard times. It’s got a big and beautiful heart. I can’t wait for people to see it.” The Messenger tells the story of Ed Kennedy (William McKenna), who becomes an accidental hero when he receives mysterious messages scribbled on a playing cards that set him on a strange journey. But what he does with them allows Ed to change lives, most of all, his own. Sometimes you just have to play the cards you’re dealt.

Grace Naoum is Daniela Kehlmann in Deadloch / Amazon.

When a local man turns up dead on the beach, two vastly different detectives are thrown together to solve the case, fastidious local senior sergeant Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and a rough-as-guts blow-in from Darwin, senior investigator Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) along with their overeager junior constable Abby (Nina Oyama). As the town prepares to launch the annual arts, food, and culture event—Winter Feastival—the trio must put their differences aside and work together to find the killer. From the wickedly funny minds of Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan comes the killer new series Deadloch, starring Kate Box, Madeleine Sami, Nina Oyama, Tom Ballard, Alicia Gardiner, Susie Youssef, and more. Deadloch will launch exclusively on Prime Video on June 2 in Australia.
