Amazon Prime Video has confirmed the premiere date for its next locally produced original series, The Test: A New Era for Australia’s Team – which will be available exclusively to the platform next year.
The docuseries grants unprecedented access inside the Australian Men’s Cricket Team, immediately following the 2018 ball-tampering incident as they regroup, reflect and rebuild to retain the 2019 Ashes Urn on English soil for the first time in 18 years.
Picking up immediately after the incident in South Africa that led to an outpouring of disappointment and shock around the world, The Test begins with the appointment of Justin Langer as coach and follows the Australian Men’s Cricket Team around the world.
With unprecedented access, The Test gives viewers an inside look into the highs and lows of the long road back in the team’s fight to regain the respect of world cricket. From a tough run in the short-form of the game, to their first ever Test series loss to India on Australian soil, the fans journey with the team as they rally and rise to a successful World Cup campaign and battle against England for the 2019 Ashes series.
The eight-part docuseries will premiere on Amazon Prime Video in Australia and around the world in more than 200 countries and territories on 12 March 2020
