From the writer and executive producer of Stateless and Clickbait, Tony Ayres has a brand new Australian limited series, The Survivors. Coming to Netflix in June 2025, the series stars Charlie Vickers and Bridgerton actress Yerin Ha. Here’s everything we know about The Survivors on Netflix.
The Survivors is an upcoming Australian Netflix Original limited drama series, created, written, and produced by Tony Ayres. The series is being produced under Tony Ayres’s production company, Tony Ayres Productions.
Tony Ayres had the following to say regarding the project;
“Jane Harper’s brilliant novel is a gift to adapt because its clever murder mystery plot is actually a Trojan horse for a deeper examination of how we live with the wounds that life inflicts on us. It’s about the cost of survival and how that impacts differently on men and women. I’m thrilled that we are working with Netflix on this show, as its themes hit the sweet spot of being both distinctly Australian, yet resonant and meaningful to a global audience.”
