Presto today announced key programming premiering in August, featuring the exclusive SVOD arrival of A Place To Call Home Seasons 1-2 coming on 21 August. The landmark Australian drama, set in country New South Wales in the years following World War II, follows Sarah Adams (Marta Dusseldorp), who has come back to Australia after 20 years overseas to start a new life.
