Apple TV Buys Tropic Noir Series ‘Dustfall’ Starring Anna Torv
Exclusive: Apple TV is heading Down Under for a bit of tropic noir.
Hot off the launch of its first Australian original, the streamer has acquired hit Aussie series Dustfall starring The Last of Us’ Anna Torv for its next big international acquisition.
Described as a “propulsive, atmospheric tropic noir,” Soapbox Pictures and Moonriver’s Dustfall follows seasoned detective, Antigone “Tig” Pollard (Torv), whose deep sense of justice is challenged by a world where victims are doubted, predators hide in plain sight, and the legal system too often falls short. Tig is called in to investigate a harrowing sexual assault case, which spirals darker after a key suspect turns up dead.
Torv leads the cast of the Dianne Taylor-penned series alongside the likes of Juliet Stevenson, Peter Fenton and Bert LABONTé.
Apple has taken worldwide rights to the show bar Australia, where it airs on the ABC and will launch in three days’ time.
