The highly-anticipated, eight-part series, which will also be the first Australian Netflix original series, is produced by Emmy and BAFTA award-winning Australian production company, Hoodlum, who unveiled the first trailer today.

Tidelandsfollows Cal McTeer, played byCharlotte Best(Home & Away, Puberty Blues), a young woman who returns home to the small fishing village of Orphelin Bay after ten years in juvenile detention then jail. As the synopsis continues, “when the body of a local fisherman washes ashore, the town’s clandestine relationship with drug smuggling is suddenly on public display. Cal must uncover the town’s well-hidden secrets, while investigating a commune of outcasts who live in a hidden pocket of the bay - a group of beautiful and dangerous half-Siren / half-human Tidelanders.”Elsa Pataky(Fast and the Furious) stars as the mysterious and alluring Adrielle Cuthbert, the leader of the Tidelanders who will go to any length to protect her tribe of people.
