Nadine will play Rowena Black. > > Created by multi award-winning writer, actor and producer Adam Zwar ( _Wilfred_ , _Agony_ series) and co-written with Amanda Brotchie ( _Squinters_ , _Lowdown_ ), _Mr. Black_ also stars Nick Russell ( _Winners & Losers_ ) as Fin Cruickshank, Sophie Wright ( _Kinky Boots_ ) as Angela Black and Paul Denny ( _Lowdown_ ) as Malcolm. > > Network Ten Head of Comedy, **Paul Leadon** , said: “It is a delight to be working with Adam and Amanda. They are an incredibly strong creative duo. Throw in Stephen Curry, Nadine Garner, an amazing cast, plus the team at CJZ and we have all the ingredients for a very special narrative comedy.” > > CJZ Managing Director and Executive Producer, **Nick Murray** , said: “We loved this project from the minute Adam Zwar pitched it to us and so did TEN.

Working alongside the talented CJZ team, we’re confident this witty series will resonate with a wide audience, as it so cleverly draws comedy from the differences and unexpected similarities between baby boomers and millennials.” > > Film Victoria CEO, **Caroline Pitcher** said: “We look forward to seeing this urban Melbourne comedy brought to screen by a home-grown, hilarious and talented team. _Mr. Black_ is a terrific addition to the TEN slate and to the impressive list of television production in Victoria.” > > _Mr. Black_ is a CJZ production for Network Ten, with principal production investment from Screen Australia in association with Film Victoria. _Mr. Black_ is currently in production in Melbourne and will air on TEN and WIN Network in 2019. ---
