We Are Who We Are
From Tuesday 3 November at 9:30pm
Luca Guadagnino’s coming of age TV series ‘We Are Who We Are’ is coming to SBS VICELAND and SBS On Demand from 3 November.
Academy Award-nominated director Luca Guadagnino brings his unique cinematic style to television for the first time with We Are Who We Are. The critically acclaimed eight-part HBO series will premiere in Australia on Tuesday 3 November, airing weekly at 9.30pm on SBS VICELAND with a full season drop on SBS On Demand.
A story about two American kids who live on a U.S. military base in Italy, the series explores friendship, first-love, identity, and immerses the audience in all the messy exhilaration and anguish of being a teenager – a story which could happen anywhere in the world, but in this case, happens in this little slice of America in Italy.
Jack Dylan Grazer stars as shy and introverted fourteen-year-old Fraser, who moves from New York to a military base in Veneto with his mothers, Sarah (Chloë Sevigny) and Maggie (Alice Braga), who are both in the U.S. Army. Tom Mercier (Jonathan) plays Sarah’s assistant.
Jordan Kristine Seamón stars as the seemingly bold and confident Caitlin, who has lived with her family on the base for several years and speaks Italian. Compared to her older brother Danny (Spence Moore II), Caitlin has the closer relationship with their father, Richard (Kid Cudi), and does not communicate well with her mother Jenny (Faith Alabi).
Caitlin is the lynchpin of her group of friends, who include Britney (Francesca Scorsese), an outspoken, witty, sexually uninhibited girl; the cheerful and good-natured Craig (Corey Knight), a soldier in his twenties; Sam (Ben Taylor), Caitlin’s possessive boyfriend, and Craig’s younger brother; Enrico (Sebastiano Pigazzi), a playful eighteen-year-old from Veneto, who has a weak spot for Britney; and Valentina (Beatrice Barichella), an Italian girl.
Luca Guadagnino is a director, screenwriter and producer known for his visually arresting style and his affecting psychological portraits. His credits include the Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA-nominated I Am Love (which is currently streaming at SBS On Demand), A Bigger Splash, the Academy Award and BAFTA-nominated box office hit Call Me by Your Name and, most recently, the cult film Suspiria (which will be airing in November on SBS VICELAND).
SBS are removing several VICE-produced programming (such as Gaycation, Weediquette, F*ck That’s Delicious, Cyberwar, Black Market among others) from SBS On Demand by the end of this month. Will this mean that SBS will rebrand Viceland to a new name in the new year? As the Viceland name is owned by VICE Media not SBS.
It’s nothing unusual for SBS On Demand (same as iview) to periodically take out old titles.
They’re probably just shows coming to the end of their rights and I guess frees up some space for new content. I would not read much into it at this stage, although I am not sure how much of Viceland actually consists of “Vice” content these days?

As it’s been pointed out earlier in this thread, Australia is the only country where “VICELAND” is still being used as a brand with the channel being abandoned or rebranded to VICE TV in other countries.
Next Sunday marks four years since the SBS2 > SBS VICELAND rebrand although if the channel is to receive a new name very soon, I’d imagine we would’ve heard something by now similar to how we were aware of the SBS FOOD rebrand for about a month before it actually happened. Maybe something will happen next year if the current deal between SBS & VICE Media is a five year one.
has SBS had its upfronts yet for 2021? But as you say it’s a five year agreement and they are only four years in, so I can’t see the name getting dropped just yet.

How long is the deal between sbs and vice media?
SBS 2 became SBS VICELAND at 4pm on Tuesday 15 November, 2016. So I’d say any contracts would end and start on that date every year.
I meant the duration of the deal
As in how many years is it
The answer to your question is literally posted twice a few posts above yours.
Four years i think
Is that correct?
Is that what it says further up?
Yeah i think so
Sorry, i was a bit confused
I thought they extended it
But it seems like they didnt
Not sure what your reading? It says 5 years above posted by SydneyCityTV and Television AU.
Geez, I only said that maybe a rebrand will happen next year if the current deal between SBS & VICE is a five year one. Not that it actually is!

Update:
Sex and Death
Monday 23 November at 09:30 PM
Australian mini web series (stitched to feature length). Sex and Death follows aspiring but hopeless actress Charlie and her lost cause attempts at romance. The interesting and different thing about this story is that Charlie, the observer, the eyes through which we see the world, is a neuro-diverse character and because of that the neurotypical people around her become the absurd characters.
She is aware that she’s different, and that she’s the one that has to adjust to fit in but to her, they all seem weird. Throughout the series, it becomes more and more impossible for her to keep up the mask of “normality” and eventually she finds the courage to allow herself to be seen.
