Under The Vines follows Daisy (Gold Logie winner Rebecca Gibney, Packed to the Rafters) and Louis (Charles Edwards, The Crown), two unlikely city slickers who inherit a failing vineyard in rural New Zealand. When Sydney socialite Daisy Munroe heads to New Zealand for a vacation at her recently deceased stepfather’s winery, which she intends to sell, little does she know that the vineyard has a co-owner: grumpy UK-born lawyer, Louis Oakley, who also travels to New Zealand to escape a spiraling series of unfortunate events in his life. Despite neither having done a hard day’s work in their lives and both despising each other, Daisy and Louis must somehow make the vineyard successful so they can sell up.

Also stars Sarah Peirse (Heavenly Creatures), Trae Te Wiki (Killer Sofa), Simon Mead (Nothing Trivial), Dean O’Gorman (The Hobbit trilogy) and Robbie Magasiva (Wentworth).

The Madame Blanc Mysteries follows Jean (Sally Lindsay, Mount Pleasant), a renowned and respected antiques dealer running a successful business in leafy Cheshire with her husband, Rory (Peter Gaynor, Vikings). We meet Jean on a rainy morning in Manchester, overcome with grief as she learns that Rory has tragically died on his way home from their vintage treasure-trove stomping grounds in the South of France.

Things take a dark turn when Jean discovers that along with her husband, all of their money has disappeared, their shop has been re-mortgaged to the hilt and their assets pawned off. With the final thousands in their joint account ironically spent on Rory’s funeral, Jean’s life is set adrift… until her solicitor informs her of one thing her beloved did not sell: their cottage in French antiques hub, Sainte Victoire. And when Jean finds out that the lavish ring Rory was bringing back to her is nowhere to be found, she quickly realises something is amiss and does the first thing she can think of…Arriving in Sainte Victoire, will Jean get the answers she is searching for?
