The Dynamic Television Scripted Initiative offers A$100,000 (US$65,000) in development funding through the initiative ($50,000 from Screen Australia and $50,000 from Dynamic Television) to bring the project to market.

The series has been written by Sarah Dollard (Bridgerton) and Scout Cripps and follows the last six months of a murdered corporate high-flyer with his high-profile lawyers emerging as prime suspects in the murder.

The series will be produced by Easy Tiger’s Ian Collie, Rob Gibson and Nat Lindwall with Catherine Miller (NCIS: Sydney) attached as director.

Dynamic’s president of global scripted television Carrie Stein said the project was selected for its “razor-sharp, darkly funny” narrative and the knockout creative team behind it.

“From the first read, we were drawn to its twisted take on ambition, loyalty, and the moral grey zones of the corporate world. This is exactly the kind of bold, character-driven storytelling the Scripted Initiative was designed to support, and we’re thrilled to help bring it to life for global audiences,” Stein said

This is the third year of the collaborative initiative and the third project to be selected following Fox Hunt from writer/producer Nicole Delprado and producer Kate Separovich and Hunt and Wooden Horses’ Dark Mode.
