Netflix’s latest crime thriller mystery takes us to the seaside Tasmanian town of Evelyn Bay, where the residents are still grappling with unresolved trauma from three deaths that occurred during a storm 15 years ago. Based on the mystery novel by Australian author Jane Harper, the series follows a young couple who return to the enclave and must confront their past when another young woman turns up dead on the beach.
Given its setting and source material, the series comes from Netflix’s Australian arm and features a stable of homegrown talent from Australia, New Zealand, and the surrounding areas. While many of the cast members of The Survivors have primarily worked in their native productions, you may recognize some actors from roles on shows like Rings of Power, Apple Cider Vinegar, and Bridgerton. Read on to learn more about the cast and the twisty characters they inhabit on the Netflix series.
