After The Party is a six part drama set in Wellington, co-created by actor Robyn Malcolm and writer Dianne Taylor. 

Penny’s (Malcolm) world implodes when she accuses her husband Phil (played by Scottish actor Peter Mullan) of a sex crime against her daughter’s teenage friend and nobody believes her.

Five years later, he returns from Scotland and moves in with Penny’s daughter Grace (newcomer Tara Canton) and grandchild. Grace begs her to put the past behind them, but when Phil takes up a teaching position Penny is again compelled to prove his guilt, reopening barely covered wounds in those around her and causing Grace to cut her out of her life. An increasingly alienated Penny is forced to choose what’s more important – the truth or her relationship with her daughter.

Made with support from NZ On Air.

World on Fire is an adrenalised, emotionally gripping, and resonant World War II drama that follows the intertwining fates of ordinary people in multiple countries as they grapple with the effects of war on their everyday lives.

As the series returns, it catapults us into the tumultuous year of 1940, venturing from the war-scarred streets of Britain to the heart of Nazi Germany, delving into the resistance movements within occupied France, and taking us to the unforgiving North African desert, where troops must adapt to a new and brutal form of combat.

With a stellar ensemble cast, including the likes of Academy Award®-nominee Lesley Manville and Academy Award®-winner Helen Hunt, the stage is set for an emotionally gripping and visually stunning journey through the trials and triumphs of wartime existence.
