THE NEWSREADER SERIES WITH SAM REID, ANNA TORV GETS THIRD SEASON! ABC SCORES MAJOR FUNDING FOR NEWSREADER AND LADIES IN BLACK SERIES

Ladies in Black will have six episodes

It is interesting that part of that massive funding will also go to the new TV series adaptation of Madeleine St John's best selling book The Woman in Black which was previously already adapted into a film with Juliette Binoche back in 2018. The series will be called LADIES IN BLACK and will be telling the story of a group of department store employees in 1959 Sydney. It is set primarily during the Christmas rush period when young school leaver, Lisa, joins the women. The six part series, also done for ABC, will see the women enter the sixties. Miranda Otto, Debi Mazar, Jessica de Gouw lead the cast of the brand new series shot last winter in Australia.
