First Prime Video scripted series to be made in South Australia.
Screen Australia Chief Operating Officer, Grainne Brunsdon, has said: "-'Top End Bub' is going to be a truly special show, full of wit, warmth, resilience and above all love. We are absolutely delighted to support this beautiful story crafted by Miranda, Joshua and the Goalpost Pictures team, which will undoubtedly recapture the magic that took Top End Wedding (2019) to global success."
The production will be filmed in Adelaide in South Australia, including the South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC)'s production facilities, Adelaide Studios, and in Darwin, in the Northern Territory's Top End.
Senior Development Executive at Amazon MGM Studios, Sarah Christie, has said: "Prime Video are proud to be bringing back the beloved, hilarious and heart-warming characters of Top End Wedding (2019) with the television spin-off 'Top End Bub' for Prime members in Australia and New Zealand. Miranda Tapsell and Joshua Tyler have created a series that speaks straight to the heart, and celebrates the messiness and beauty of family, love, and community. We are thrilled to be working with them, along with producers Goalpost Pictures and directors Christian van Vuuren and Shari Sebbens, in capturing the stunning and uniquely Australian world of the Top End."
This six-part streaming series is expected to debut about five years after the theatrical premiere of its precursor cinema movie Top End Wedding (2019).
