25 02 2021 - Media release ABC Children's series Parent Up and The PM's Daughter greenlit
The PM's Daughter Tristram Baumber, Lou Sanz, Alice Willison
ABC and Screen Australia are pleased to announce two exciting new live action series Parent Up and The PM's Daughter. Both series will go into production this year and join MaveriX, Itch Season 2 and Hardball Season 2 on ABC ME's action-packed slate of narrative drama.
ABC Head of Children's Production Libbie Doherty said, Strap in for a very exciting ride on ABC ME. We are turning up the heat with big E for Entertainment new and returning series purpose fit for iview and the streaming landscape. Audiences will be thrilled with the return of much-loved favourites Hardball S2 and Itch S2 and wonderful new comedy series Parent Up and The PM's Daughter (both working titles).
Sally Caplan, Head of Content at Screen Australia said, We were incredibly impressed by these live-action childrens' dramas, with clever scripts and distinctly Australian stories that reflect our multicultural society on screen. Whether it's delving into the world of leading a country in PM's Daughter or exploring a mysterious spy underworld in Sydney in Parent Up, these are two fun, high stakes series that I'm sure will entertain and inspire young viewers.
From Justine Flynn the creator of The Unlisted comes Parent Up, a comedy action series for 8-13 year-olds. Yu Na and Min Park want more excitement in their lives, but they don t realise just how crazy their lives will become when they discover their once unremarkable parents are actually international spies and have disappeared in suspicious circumstances!
In The PM's Daughter, a political comedy-drama series co-created by Tristram Baumber, Catalina Parkes P rez (Cat to her friends) is like any other teenager who wants to fight the powers that be. There's just one complication: her mother is the Prime Minister of Australia.
