STAN CONTINUES ITS LANDMARK ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY SLATE WITH FOUR NEW REVEALED PRODUCTIONS
Four gripping Stan Original Documentaries added to the acclaimed Revealed slate
-
Danielle Laidley documents the life of former player and coach Danielle Laidley
-
The Cape , a haunting true crime documentary about the fishing clans of Cape York, a love gone wrong and the shocking disappearance of a father and son
-
Safe to Drink explores a global health and environmental disaster

Otto on Otto chronicles the life of Australian icon Barry Otto, directed by daughter Gracie Otto
Stan, Australia’s unrivalled home of original productions, and Screen Australia today announced four brand new Stan Original Documentaries for Stan’s documentary slate Revealed, created in collaboration with award-winning journalists, filmmakers and philanthropists from Australia and around the world – and with support from Screen NSW, VicScreen, Shark Island Foundation and Fremantle.
Premiering in 2023, these new additions to the Revealed slate solidify Stan’s commitment to original longform content that takes a deep dive into contemporary issues – from global environmental disasters and suburban health catastrophes, to trailblazing sporting figures and true crime tragedies in remote Australian communities, Revealed examines issues that hold global impact. Collaborating with high calibre directors, journalists and producers from around Australia, Stan has commissioned four gripping Stan Original Documentaries in addition to the captivating productions already announced for Revealed.
Danielle Laidley documents Laidley’s life so far, from her career as a high-profile football player and coach to her battles with drug addiction and gender dysphoria. She speaks to the courage enabled by Donna, a lifelong friend turned supportive partner, and the ongoing impact of Victoria Police’s actions that outed her transgender status to the world. Viewers will see Dani and Donna navigate their paths forward in a critical twelve months under public scrutiny. Dani will launch her autobiography, approach the AFL to put her voice toward inclusivity, strive to rebuild family relationships and work to find her place in the community as an LGBTIQ+ representative.
Emmy® award-nominated Michael Ware (Only the Dead) directs The Cape, a haunting documentary about the mysterious tragedies befalling an isolated community in Australia’s Cape York. When a ten-year-old boy and his father vanish while checking their shark nets, it unravels a dynastic alliance between mighty fishing clans. A mother and son are accused of murder and a love triangle gone horribly wrong raises questions of guilt and complicity that ripple out far beyond the alleged killers.
In collaboration with Walkey Award-winning journalist Carrie Fellner and The Sydney Morning Herald, Safe to Drink investigates toxic chemicals that have sparked an international health and environmental catastrophe and tells the story of the devastating impacts on contaminated communities who are fighting for justice, both in Australia and across the world. Produced and directed by Janine Hosking (The Eulogy), Katrina McGowan (The Eulogy) and Mat Cornwell.
Finally, Gracie Otto directs a feature-length documentary about her father, Australian icon Barry Otto, in Otto on Otto. With a career in Australian theatre, film and television that has spanned more than 50 years, Barry Otto is a national treasure – a creative, endearing and eccentric personality who embraces the serious and the silly. In Revealed: Otto on Otto, Gracie reflects on her relationship with her father in the twilight of his career and his life, as she tries to capture his memories before they disappear. Poignant and passionate, Revealed: Otto on Otto will leave the audience with a rare insight into a true artist.
Stan Chief Content Officer Cailah Scobie said: “Guaranteed to enlighten and spark debate, these four brand-new Stan Original Documentaries will make powerful additions to our growing Revealed lineup. From intimate portraits of trailblazers Danielle Laidley and Barry Otto, to a detailed examination of a global health disaster and the unravelling of two shocking disappearances in Cape York, these uniquely Australian stories come from an outstanding collection of journalists, directors and producers. We can’t wait to share these stories on Stan next year.”
Screen Australia’s Head of Documentary Alex West said: “We are proud to support these filmmakers who have demonstrated immense expertise in crafting bold investigations and intimate human portraits, exploring equality and identity in our society. I’m confident these insightful documentaries will inspire reflection and help spark change, and I can’t wait to see them premiere on Stan next year.”
Head of Screen NSW Kyas Hepworth said: “Screen NSW is thrilled to partner with Stan on its Revealed documentary slate that will support our talented NSW documentary filmmakers. Screen NSW supported Revealed: Otto on Otto, an intimate family portrait of icon Barry Otto, Revealed: Safe to Drink from leading Australian filmmaker Janine Hosking, and Revealed: The Cape, which will examine an isolated community reeling from tragedy. I look forward to seeing all the original documentaries on Stan in 2023.”
Mandy Chang, Global Head of Documentaries at Fremantle, who is partnering on Danielle Laidley and The Cape said: “Fremantle is so excited to be partnering with Stan on these thought provoking and remarkable Australian stories. It is our pleasure to be working alongside the exceptionally talented filmmaking teams behind both projects, whom I know and admire very much.”
The Stan Originals Documentary slate Revealed launched earlier this year with Amongst Us – Neo Nazi Australia, an eye-opening investigation led by 12-time Walkley Award-winning reporter Nick McKenzie, and then continued with No Mercy, No Remorse, a forensic investigation into Melbourne’s Frankston Serial Killer Paul Charles Denyer produced by Terry Carlyon with The Age crime reporter John Silvester.
Revealed continues later this year with Revealed: Reefshot, an urgent call to action on the state of the Great Barrier Reef.

Stan Original dating series Love Triangle to premiere October 6 – from the producers of Married At First Sight
Stan Original dating series Love Triangle has today been announced.
The new reality series is a modern take on the struggle for love in the difficult and fast-paced modern dating world, and comes from the producers behind Married At First Sight.
The first two episodes will premiere on 6 October with new episodes to follow weekly, only on Stan.
Love Triangle challenges a group of singles to relinquish their grasp on what they think their perfect partner should look like, and instead choose someone, sight unseen, based on a deeper connection.
They will be able to text and call their potential matches as they get to know each other, but they, along with the audience, won’t discover what the other looks like until they make their choice, and go on their first blind date.
Everything hangs on this decision – will they like what they see when they first meet? And if they don’t, can they overcome a lack of attraction, to form a genuine connection.
It’s after these first dates that things will really fire up when the newly formed couples move in together for a highly unpredictable and explosive relationship journey filled with love, heartbreak and a mind-blowing twist that will rock the couples to their core.
The new series is from Endemol Shine Australia director of content Tara McWilliams (Married At First Sight), executive producer Keely Sonntag (MasterChef Australia, Australian Survivor) and 9Network executive producer John Walsh (Married At First Sight, The Voice)
“Love Triangle represents a thrilling new step for Stan as we continue to ramp up our Stan Originals output, leveraging the proven pedigree of the 9Network and the extraordinary makers of Married at First Sight to deliver a sensational new dating format. This is going to be an unmissable reality television event,” Stan chief content officer Cailah Scobie said.
“We are incredibly proud to produce the addictive new relationship series, Love Triangle, for Stan. Tackling the difficulties of modern dating, the series features incredible characters on the journey to find long lasting love but with a mind-blowing mid-season twist. All we can say is, remember that a triangle has three sides!” Endemol Shine Australia Chief executive officer Peter Newman said.
The Stan Original dating series Love Triangle is produced by Endemol Shine Australia (a Banijay company) in conjunction with 9Network.
The first two episodes of the Stan Original dating series Love Triangle will premiere 6 October, only on Stan.

In that case I’ll pass.
Next month is the 20th anniversary of the horrific bombings in the tourist district of Kuta on the Indonesian island of Bali. The attack killed 202 people (including 88 Australians, 38 Indonesians, 23 Britons, and people of more than 20 other nationalities). A further 209 people were injured.
The four-part drama series will premiere Sunday 25 September, with all episodes available at once, only on Stan.

I quite enjoyed it, shame there won’t be more.
Not surprised, compared to the English original and the American remake, this was woeful!
That’s a real shame. I thought it was really good.
