🐄 “Territory: Shakespeare in the Aussie Outback” 🌏

Netflix’s Territory reimagines Shakespearean themes in the vast Australian outback, delivering a gripping tale of family, power, and survival.

Anna Torv captivates as Emily Lawson, a woman straddling her cattle-thieving roots and her marriage into a powerful dynasty.

Themes of betrayal, ambition, and legacy echo King Lear and Macbeth, with Robert Taylor’s Colin Lawson embodying a paranoid, self-styled king whose enemies outnumber his allies.

The inclusion of Aboriginal storylines, written by Steven McGregor and Kodie Bedford, adds depth and authenticity, with Indigenous characters like Nolan Brannock navigating cultural obligations and systemic racism.

Shot across stunning locations like Kakadu National Park, Territory is as visually breathtaking as it is dramatic.

A six-episode binge of intrigue, feuds, and Shakespearean tragedy awaits—stream it now on Netflix! 🐄
