Stan commits to more local content with new Aussie shows and films announced

Locally-owned streaming platform Stan has revealed a number of new originals, as part of what it calls its “ongoing commitment to deliver more world-class, locally produced original films and series”.

This will include new series, Bad Behaviour, a series based on the same name book by Australian writer Rebeca Starford; holiday film, Christmas on the Farm; season two and three of Bump, a high-school drama; and Ironside, a new series based on a recent AFP organised crime operation of the same name.

Last week, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) published new figures that showed investment by the subscription video on demand (SVOD) sector into local screen content, with streaming platforms Amazon Prime, Disney+, and Netflix, as well as the Nine-owned platform, Stan, spending over $153 million combined on Australian programming across 2019 and 2020.
