If you’re looking for something warm and fuzzy with plenty of heartwarming drama along the way, Top End Bub has eight episodes of home-grown goodness just waiting for you to binge. 

A continuation from the hit movie, Top End Wedding, the series follows married couple Lauren and Ned as they return to Lauren’s hometown, Darwin, to take care of her orphaned niece. We won’t give too much away, but you can expect to see plenty of humour and heart as they try to adjust to their new life as parents while balancing modern life with familial and cultural responsibilities. Think grief, growth, and good old-fashioned feels.

They’re joined by a range of exciting Australian and international returning cast members, including Ursula Yovich, Huw Higginson, Shari Sebbens, Elaine Crombie, Rob Collins, and Tracy Mann. New additions to the cast also include Brooke Satchwell, Guy Simon, Clarence Ryan, and rising star Gladys-May Kelly as Taya.

Top End Wedding was praised for its portrayal of Indigenous Australian culture in a respectful, uplifting, and relatable way. And, centred around a Tiwi woman and a British man, it explored the complexities and beauty of multicultural relationships in Australia. You can expect more of that and then some in Top End Bub.

Top End Bub is available to stream in Australia and New Zealand from September 12, exclusively on Prime Video. And, if you want more Australian-made content, don’t forget to take a look at our list of top Australian horror movies, too.
