Watch Barons: preview

Get your summer started with this sun-drenched Australian drama. Inspired by the growth of sportswear brands Quicksilver and Billabong and the bitter rivalry between these iconic companies, Barons follows a group of surf-loving friends in the 1970s, whose escalating animosity takes place against a backdrop of war in Vietnam and the increasing commodification of surf culture.

This fictionalised account of the feud behind boardwear’s most recognisable names is made up of eight episodes, executive produced and created by Liz Doran (Please Like Me), Michael Lawrence (Bra Boys), and the award-nominated John Molloy (The Gloaming).

It follows the antics of Trotter (Sean Keenan, The Power of the Dog) and Snapper (Ben O’Toole): two bessie mates running a casual enterprise selling wetsuits to surfers, who spend their free time at the beach chasing waves and generally living the countercultural dream.

Things get heated, however, when Snapper covertly produces his own line of surf apparel with the help of his fiancé (Jillian Nguyen, Hungry Ghosts), initiating a feud that will spur the pals to great heights in the business world but leave them stranded far from their blissed-out ideals and costing their friendships dearly.

Also starring Hunter Page-Lochard (Around the Block), Vivienne Awosoga (Wentworth Prison), George Pullar and Sophia Forrest (Aquaman), get ready for a surfing drama that makes some waves – Barons has already been slated for another four seasons.
