Serious allegations are being raised by the Australian production team who worked on the new Netflix reality TV series – Wonka’s The Golden Ticket, which was shot at Warner Brothers Movie World on the Gold Coast.

Sources have been reaching out to share their horror stories of working on the show, alleging:

  • Some crew were put up in second-rate hotels
  • Last-minute changes by Netflix executives created chaos as production teams tried to meet their demands
  • Technical set-ups weeks in the planning had to be redone because of changes made by senior creatives
  • Workers were hitting their allotted 60-hour weeks by mid-week and told to take time off, only to be called to come back in to arrange new set-ups…
  • And reputations were left in ruins because of demands that couldn’t be met within the allotted time and budget.
