Set in the intensely secretive world of intelligence and the enigmatic US/Australia joint defense facility in central Australia, PINE GAP delves into the famously strong alliance between the two countries. With a new global player encroaching, and the world inching closer to war - trust, betrayal, love and loyalty all come into question ... what do you do for the liberal world order, what do you do for your country, what do you do for those you love and what do you do for yourself?

Commissioned by Netflix and the ABC, PINE GAP is a Screentime (a Banijay Group company) production - produced by Lisa Scott and Felicity Packard, and executive produced by Rory Callaghan, Bob Campbell and Greg Haddrick and the ABC's Sally Riley and Brett Sleigh. The international spy thriller was created by showrunner Greg Haddrick and co-writer Felicity Packard and is being directed by Mat King.

With major support from the South Australian Film Corporation and the South Australian State Government the six-hour series is filming across multiple locations in South Australia and the Northern Territory.

Co-creator, executive producer, writer and showrunner Greg Haddrick said: "We are honoured that a cast of this calibre is bringing PINE GAP to life on screen with the direction of Mat King. This project has been four years in the making and it is wonderful that we can now say - we are in production!"

Screentime Executive Chairman Bob Campbell said: "PINE GAP is Screentime's first project for Netflix and the ABC. It has seen the very best of all our creative resources and personnel brought together to guarantee a timely first class thriller cut straight from today's headlines."

A Screentime production, PINE GAP is financed by Netflix and the ABC, in association with the South Australian Film Corporation. Additional financial support is being provided by a grant from Screen Territory.
