In a statement about the exciting show, Cate shared:

“Whilst this story centres on Australia, the dilemmas that it explores through four absorbing characters will resonate globally: the desire for personal freedom, the need for social stability, an escalating lack of faith in the political process and the deeply unsettling impact this has on individual lives.” 

The 50-year-old, who is an Oscar winner, and husband Andrew Upton will serve as producers on the show.
