Disney+

I think choice paralysis is a big problem for Nat Geo style content on streamers as it currently stands.

Having said that YouTube seems to have found a way to present doco content, so there should be a way to present it so people would watch it (although the incentive to change might not be there for an ad-free monthly fee model that is being moved away from).

Disney+ Australian original series “Last Days of the Space Age” premieres October 2

Eight-part series stars Radha Mitchell, Jesse Spencer, Deborah Mailman, Iain Glen, Thomas Weatherall, and More.

Disney+ today debuted the key art for its Australian original series Last Days of the Space Age and announced that it will premiere exclusively on Disney+ Tuesday, 2 October 2024.

The eight-part series follows three families in a tight-knit coastal community who find their marriages, friendships and futures put to the test. It’s the end of an era, and everything is about to change.

Set in 1979 Western Australia, with a global beauty pageant contest creating a media frenzy and a power strike that threatens to plunge the region into darkness, history is at a turning point. But that’s nothing compared to the drama these seemingly ordinary families are enduring, in a town which will never be the same.

Radha Michell (Olympus Has Fallen ), Jesse Spencer (Chicago Fire ) and Deborah Mailman (Total Control ) lead the stellar cast, joined by a powerhouse ensemble of local and international talent, including Iain Glen (Game of Thrones ), Linh Dan Pham (Blue Bayou ), Thomas Weatherall (Heartbreak High ), George Mason (The Power of the Dog ), Vico Thai (Total Control ), Ines English (Dead Lucky ), Jacek Koman (Jack Irish ) and more.

The series is produced by Princess Pictures and created and written by David Chidlow (Moving On , Hidden ), along with writers Alice Addison (Picnic at Hanging Rock ), Dot West (The Heights ) and Jeremy and Alan Nguyen (Hungry Ghosts ).

Bharat Nalluri (Boy Swallows Universe ) serves as set-up director, joined by directors Rachel Ward (Palm Beach , Devil’s Playground) and Kriv Stenders (Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan , Red Dog ).

Laura Waters (Summer Heights High ) and Emma Fitzsimons (Wrong Kind Of Black ) are executive producers for Princess Pictures, alongside Chris Loveall (Nautilus ), Stephanie Swedlove (Everything’s Gonna Be Okay ), Anna Dokoza (Kevin Can F* Himself** ) as well as Nalluri and Chidlow, with Christine Pham (Please Like Me ) as series producer.

The series was filmed in Perth, Western Australia and Sydney and Wollongong, New South Wales, with the assistance of the New South Wales Government via Screen NSW and the Made in NSW Fund and Screen West.

I see Disney Plus is a major sponsor on Nine’s Block. Wonder if we could also see further programming via their global TV arm in a wider deal, we’ve already seen some shows and movies on 9Go! and 9Now.

Some cheeky Disney+ outdoor media at the moment, they’ve got digital billboards with the tagline “Must watch Paris moments” and were advertising movies Ratatouille and Taken.

A group of kids stumbles across an abandoned starship and go on adventures through space, accompanied by an adult guidance figure, as they find their way home.

Sounds a lot like the premise of Star Trek: Prodigy.

I said this a while ago, but the MacFarlane cartoons are missing from the platform.

Which ones exactly?

American Dad and Family Guy. Can’t find them on here.

On Disney+?

They’re both on there and up to date with the US.

I thought Seven was withholding them.

Pardon me. We are one season behind AD, current with FG.

September 2024: Disney Plus Australia (and New Zealand): What's New For September 2024 | streambly

Another month of just pure shit. One or two decent shows if that.

When will this service start producing more content for each month? Even our local services do better than this.

I always manage to find something I want to watch even it’s not the new shows. So why do you keep watching Disney plus if you think it’s shit ?
