Filming wraps on Lambs of God

Filming has wrapped on upcoming Foxtel miniseries Lambs of God starring Essie Davis (Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries), Ann Dowd (The Handmaid’s Tale) an UK actress Jessica Barden.

The 4 part series centres around three nuns locked away from the world, in a remote convent, whose lives are turned upside down when a young priest (Sam Reid) arrives to explain the Church has sold their dilapidated home to developers.

Filming took place over a ten-week shoot at Fox Studios, Mount Wilson in the Blue Mountains, Kiama on the NSW South Coast and Tasmania.

The project received a Create NSW investment of $550,000 from the Made in NSW fund and a further $100,000 from the Regional Filming Fund.

“This is a big budget epic production that will screen in 2019 on Foxtel in Australia and on international broadcasters and platforms,” said Create NSW Director of Screen Investment, Engagement and Attraction Sophia Zachariou.

“Lambs of God generated 547 jobs for cast, crew and extras in both Sydney and regional NSW and its high production values will once again showcase the strength of the NSW screen industry to the world.”

Foxtel’s Head of Drama Penny Win said: “Lambs of God is a truly exciting new series for Foxtel and we’re extremely grateful to the Made in NSW initiative for the funding assistance and the commitment of the NSW government and Create NSW to creating quality Australian drama. Our cast and crew have been working tirelessly to bring our viewers a unique and captivating new event series which will premiere on Foxtel in 2019.”

Jason Stephens from Lingo Pictures, said: “Government initiatives like this are essential for production companies to be competitive in a market that is becoming increasingly global. Lingo welcomes and appreciates the support which allows us to make a drama such as Lambs of God in our home state.”
