Race relations, politics and pop culture focus for new SBS show Legally Brown

A comedy series called Legally Brown, written and hosted by Nazeem Hussain, has been announced today, with the promise it will be daring and boundary pushing.

The series was created by Southern Star Entertainment and will be 10, 30-minute episodes that focus parodying Australian culture, including race relations, local and international politics and pop culture.

“I’m really excited to be working with such a talented crew on Legally Brown. With their proud history of diverse comedy, SBS is definitely where it belongs. Legally Brown is the perfect excuse for me to wear silly costumes and play ridiculous characters under the guise of addressing serious social issues,” said Nazeem Hussain.

Legally Brown will be filmed in Sydney and broadcast on SBS1 later in this year.
