Marta Dusseldorp will be joined by a hefty ensemble cast when shooting starts next week in Tasmania on her comedic crime drama for the ABC, Bay of Fires.
Dusseldorp created the series with Andrew Knight and Max Dann, and stars in the lead role as single mother-of-two Stella Heikkinen, who finds herself in a small remote community on the west coast of Tassie. But it’s not the kind of place they put on postcards – it is instead rife with simmering feuds, crime and sometimes, murder.
Starring alongside Dusseldorp are Kerry Fox, Toby Leonard Moore, Rachel House, Yael Stone, Tony Barry, Heather Mitchell, Oscar Redding, Bob Franklin, Kim Ko and Rhys Muldoon, as well as rising stars Imi Mbedla, Ava Caryofyllis, Ilai Swindells, Mackenzie Grant and newcomer Mitchem Everett.
