Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Anna Torv based Helen's voice on actual Australian newsreaders of the era, including watching hours of archival footage.
The series directly parallels real 1986 events including the Challenger disaster and Azaria Chamberlain case, using history as pressure cooker for personal drama.

Reactions from the web
Sam Reid killing it on American tv (Interview with a vampire) and Australia tv (Newsreader). A versatile transcontinental king. We truly love to see it.
