John Marsden’s bestselling novels have been adapted to 6 x 1 hour episodes for ABC Australia and the episodes will be available to watch on ABC iView (Episode 1 is up now).
This dramatic adventure series tells the story of a group of Australian teenagers who are separated from their families following an invasion of their country, a conflict they never saw coming.
The series stars Molly Daniels (You’re Skitting Me, The Librarians) as Ellie, Jon Prasida (Hiding) as Lee, Narek Arman (Packed to the Rafters, Dance Academy) as Homer, Madeleine Madden (The Code, Redfern Now) as Corrie, Fantine Banulski (Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, You’re Skitting Me) as Robyn, Keith Purcell (Neighbours) as Chris and newcomers Madeleine Clunies-Ross as Fi and Andrew Creer (WAAPA) as Kevin.
This fresh new talent will be complemented by a line up of acclaimed Australian actors including Sibylla Budd (Winners and Losers, The Secret Life of Us), Deborah Mailman (Redfern Now, Black Comedy, Offspring), James Stewart (Hiding, Packed to the Rafters) and Alison Bell (Offspring, Laid).
The dilemmas faced by these characters are important and compelling. In a time of rapidly changing world events, the themes of Tomorrow, When the War Began have never been more relevant.
