Gifted comedian Genevieve Morris (No Activity, Wednesday Night Fever) will star in an upcoming ABC comedy-drama, Sando.
The six part series from Jungle sees her star as Victoria ‘Sando’ Sandringham, Australia’s queen of the discount furniture package deal.
The cast also includes Firass Dirani (House Husbands, Underbelly), Phil Lloyd (The Moodys, Review wth Myles Barlow), Rob Carlton (Paper Giants, Chandon Pictures), Krew Boylan (Schapelle, Cliffy), Adele Vuko (Skitbox), Uli Latukefu and newcomer Dylan Hesp.
Created and written by Phil Lloyd and co-created with Charlie Garber, the series will be directed by Erin White (At Home with Julia, It’s a Date, Little Lunch) and the Van Vuuren Bros. (Bondi Hipsters, Soul Mates), and produced by Chloe Rickard (No Activity, Here Come the Habibs).
Sando will film in Sydney over the next six weeks and air on ABC next year.
‘Sando’ (Genevieve Morris) is Australia’s queen of the discount furniture package deal. She’s built her empire on being a down-to-earth larrikin and is something of a national treasure – to all but her family. They banished her a decade ago when her one-night stand (and resulting pregnancy) by her daughter’s fiancé (Firass Dirani) was shockingly revealed at his wedding to her daughter (Krew Boylan). Now, after a health scare, her career on a precipice and her professional nemesis (Rob Carlton) primed to push her into the abyss, Sando is determined to rekindle the family relationship. She needs them, and in spite of their initial apprehension…and unbridled hatred…soon they’ll discover they might actually need her too.
