In The Survivors, the haunting beauty of Tasmania’s coastline becomes the perfect backdrop for a gripping new limited Netflix series based on the bestselling novel by Jane Harper. Spanning six intense episodes, this Australian drama blends a compelling murder mystery with deeply personal family drama, set in one of the country’s most visually arresting landscapes.
The series introduces viewers to a world where past secrets and present dangers collide. Every frame pulses with tension, as the idyllic scenery masks simmering emotional turmoil and a tragic mystery that refuses to stay buried.
Bringing this tense narrative to life is a formidable cast of seasoned talent and rising stars. Audiences will recognise beloved faces like Damien Garvey (The Artful Dodger, Nautilus), Catherine McClements (Apple Cider Vinegar, Return to Paradise), Martin Sacks (Irreverent, Wentworth), and Robyn Malcolm (After the Party, Far North), whose performances add emotional weight and authenticity.
They’re joined by a new wave of actors lighting up screens across Australasia. Yerin Ha (Bridgerton S4, Halo), Charlie Vickers (The Rings of Power, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart), Thom Green (Ladies in Black), George Mason (The Power of the Dog), Shannon Berry (The Wilds), and Jessica De Gouw (The Couple Next Door) bring depth and energy to the unfolding mystery, proving themselves as standout talent to watch.
Behind the scenes, the series is in capable hands. Produced by the acclaimed Tony Ayres Productions (Fires, Clickbait, Stateless), with backing from Matchbox Pictures and Universal International Studios, the team delivers a polished, emotionally resonant viewing experience. Additional production support from Screen Tasmania and Victorian screen bodies has helped bring this ambitious adaptation to life with authenticity and flair.
