Romantic comedy series Top End Bub will begin production next month in Australia as a sequel to hit 2019 feature film Top End Wedding. Stars Miranda Tapsell and Gwilym Lee will reprise their roles. The series is created, executive produced and written by Top End Wedding writers Joshua Tyler and Tapsell and produced by Goalpost Pictures. The series will launch on Prime Video in Australia and New Zealand and be distributed internationally by Germany's ZDF Studios.
Where the 2019 Wayne Blair-directed film saw an engaged couple chase around the remote far north of Australia in search of the bride's AWOL mother in time for their wedding, the eight-part series sees the married couple abandon their comfortable city life and move to the Top End to raise their recently orphaned niece. Tapsell's character, Lauren, a dynamic Indigenous lawyer, must come to terms with her responsibilities within her culture as she transforms from an individualist to the linchpin of her family.
