New Zealand-set detective series A Remarkable Place to Die is set to captivate audiences with its intriguing murder mystery storyline. The 4-part series, created by Screentime New Zealand and co-produced with Real Film Berlin, follows the smart and savvy detective Anais Mallory as she returns to her hometown of Queenstown in South Island, New Zealand.
Portrayed by Chelsie Preston-Crayford, Anais Mallory is faced with a series of complex homicides that she must solve while navigating through a backdrop of past ghosts. The title of the series cleverly references the mountain range surrounding Queenstown, known as The Remarkables, which offers a range of outdoor activities in summer and excellent skiing in winter.
As Mallory delves into the cases, she encounters familiar faces from her past, including her ex-fiancé Luke, now married to her former best friend, her mother, and a handsome pathologist. The eclectic mix of tourists and locals in Queenstown adds another layer of complexity to her investigations.
The show, created by Philly de Lacey with writer John Banas, features a talented team of directors and executive producers. It is set to air in Germany, the U.S., and New Zealand through ZDF, Acorn TV, and TVNZ, respectively.
CEO of Screentime New Zealand, Philly de Lacey, highlighted the stunning landscape of Queenstown and its unconventional characters as the perfect backdrop for this gripping murder mystery. Viewers can expect to be drawn into Detective Anais Mallory's world as she uncovers intriguing secrets.
In addition to A Remarkable Place to Die, Screentime New Zealand has produced other successful international series such as The Gulf and Straight Forward, showcasing their expertise in creating compelling and engaging content.
