Nine has commenced production in Melbourne on new crime drama Human Error.

Inspired by actual events, the series stars Leeanna Walsman (Wentworth, Safe Harbour) as Detective Holly O’Rourke, head of a homicide team pursuing a seemingly straightforward murder investigation that explodes into a huge criminal conspiracy. With time running out, Holly must battle a string of mistakes made by herself and others before they destroy her family and career.

Created by Greg Haddrick (Janet King, Underbelly), Samantha Winston (Love Me, Rush) and Gregor Jordan (North Shore, Two Hands), the series also features Rahel Romahn (Shantaram, Mr Inbetween), winner of the Heath Ledger Scholarship in 2022, as Detective Jarred Pines.

Stephen Peacocke (The Newsreader, Five Bedrooms, RFDS, Informer 3838) joins as fellow investigator Dylan Mackenzie, Matt Day (Rake, Paper Giants) as Holly’s husband Luke, Rob Collins (The Legend of Molly Johnson, Mystery Road, RRFDS) as Sergeant Gavin Butterfield and Steve Bisley (Mystery Road Origin, Doctor Doctor) plays Holly’s dad and retired detective Bear O’Rourke.

Also featuring are Emily Joy (Fisk, The Housemate), Ethan Lwin (Young Rock, Joe vs. Carol), Debra Lawrance (Clickbait, Please Like Me), Daniela Farinacci (East West 101, Lantana), Jane Allsop (House Husbands, The Slap) and Anthony J Sharpe (Joe vs. Carol, Black Snow).

John Edwards and Dan Edwards (Romper Stomper, Bump, Year Of) with Nine’s Head of Drama, Andy Ryan are Executive Producers alongside Producers Haddrick and Winston, with The Age crime reporter John Silvester (Underbelly) as story consultant. Award-winning screen director Fiona Banks (Wentworth, Halifax Retribution) will direct the first three episodes, followed by Mat King (Bloom, Pine Gap).

The six part series screens later this year on Nine.

Human Error is a Roadshow Rough Diamond production for the 9Network with major production investment from Screen Australia in association with Nine and VicScreen. International distribution will be handled by ITV Studios.

  1. Anything with John Edwards involved is worth checking out. RFDS must still be yet to film. I don’t think such a long delay between seasons will help it ratings wise.

  2. Wasn’t this show supposed to have a major international lead? Not shocking at all the Nine have pulled the pin on that already.

    It also looks like an RFDS knock off with both Steve and Rob and supporting cast to a female lead.
