Overview
- Netflix has given a straight‑to‑series order for Queenstown, an eight‑episode drama created and written by Chloe Stearns.
- The series stars Rufus Sewell, Frances O’Connor, Alycia Debnam‑Carey and Te Kohe Tuhaka with Glendyn Ivin as lead director and Roseanne Liang also directing.
- Production is currently underway on location in Queenstown and is supported by the New Zealand Film Commission and the country’s Screen Production Rebate.
- The official logline places the story in the town’s luxury ski scene where a privileged family and the people who work for them clash over power, loyalty and desire.
- The commission marks Netflix ANZ’s first locally commissioned series shot in New Zealand and follows the streamer’s prior use of the country mainly as a filming location for international projects; no release date has been announced.
