Hear from one of Australia’s leading actors Leah Purcell, with award-winning roles in theatre, film, and television.  High Country is Leah’s first lead role in a television series in which she headlines an international cast including Ian McElhinney, Sara Wiseman and Aaron Pedersen. Leah also serves as  Executive Producer and Cultural Advisor on the series.

High County is edge-of-your-seat storytelling. With an epic and ancient landscape of conflicting mythologies – set in a part of the Victorian High Country rarely seen on screen and a character of its own. It is a crime drama filled with twists and turns, spine tingling mystery and a harrowing sense of place. Leah Purcell plays Andie Whitford, a detective who is transferred to the town of Brokenridge. Once there, Andie is thrust into a baffling mystery of five missing persons who have vanished into the wilderness. Over eight episodes a complex web of murder, deceit and revenge unravels to uncover a conspiracy dating back decades. Its high stakes and its High Country.

Cast: Leah Purcell, Ian McElhinney, Sara Wiseman, Aaron Pederson, Linda Cropper, Henry Nixon, Luke McKenzie, Matt Domingo, Geoff Morrell, Pez Warner, Pedrea Jackson, Leah Vandenberg, Nathaniel Dean, Jamie Timony, Annie Chiswell, Travis McMahon, Nicholas Bell, Trisha Morton-Thomas and Shannon Berry.
