With filming currently underway in Adelaide, South Australia, Netflix and ABC have announced the superb cast heading up the thrilling six-part drama series Pine Gap.

Set to screen later in the year, Pine Gap stars Parker Sawyers (Southside With You), Tess Haubrich (Alien: Covenant, Wolf Creek Season 2), Jacqueline McKenzie (Safe Harbour, Romper Stomper, 4400), Steve Toussaint (Fortitude, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time), Stephen Curry (Hounds of Love, The King, Cloudstreet), Mark Leonard Winter (Cleverman, Top of the Lake) and Sachin Joab (Lion, Jack Irish).

They are joined by Kelton Pell (Redfern Now, Cloudstreet), Lewis Fitz-Gerald (Janet King, Hunters), Madeleine Madden (Picnic At Hanging Rock, Mystery Road The Series, Tidelands), Alice Keohavong (The Rocket), Edwina Wren (Hunters, Offspring) Jason Chong (Guardians of the Tomb, Wolf Creek Season 2) and Simone Kessell (The Crossing, Of Kings and Profits).

Set in the intensely secretive world of intelligence and the enigmatic US/Australia joint defence facility in central Australia, Pine Gap delves into the famously strong alliance between the two countries. With a new global player encroaching and the world inching closer to war, trust, betrayal, love and loyalty all come into question … what do you do for the liberal world order, what do you do for your country, what do you do for those you love and what do you do for yourself?
