ABC on the drama Code

Production begins on Code, a new 6 part political thriller for the ABC from Playmaker Media.

Described as a “contemporary thriller stretching from the spectacular red desert of Australia’s outback to the cool corridors of power,” it will film in Canberra and Broken Hill. Now that makes a change.

News Corp reports the cast includes Dan Spielman, David Wenham, Adam Garcia, Lucy Lawless, Dan Wylie and Aden Young.

It is expected to air in 2014.
