Mystery Road: Series 1

Emmy and Golden Globe winner Judy Davis (Feud: Bette and Joan) and award-winning actor Aaron Pedersen (Jack Irish) star in this “exquisitely cinematic” (Daily Review, Australia) mystery series set in the Australian outback. When two boys disappear from a remote cattle station, local police sergeant Emma James (Davis) calls in Indigenous detective Jay Swan (Pedersen) to help find out what happened. As Emma and Jay butt heads over their conflicting methods, the unexpected arrival of Jay’s troubled daughter (Madeleine Madden, Picnic at Hanging Rock) only inflames the tension. But when their investigation uncovers other crimes haunting the backwater town, the detectives must look to the past to get justice in the present.

Set amid stunning desert scenery of big skies and barren landscapes, this noir crime thriller also stars Deborah Mailman (Jack Irish), Tasia Zalar (Wentworth), John Waters (Rake), and Aaron McGrath (Glitch, The Code).
