About OK Great Productions

Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan formed Ok Great Productions in 2019 to make a slate of projects that propel the voices of funny people. Together they have created the narrative comedy, Bleak - an award-winning 4-part web series about Life shitting on your face - which was later made into a 30-minute pilot for Australia's national broadcaster, the ABC.

In 2014, the Kates created The Katering Show, an 8 x 10 min web-series about an intolerable foodie (McLennan) and her food intolerant friend (McCartney) - which they wrote and directed, and also produced with Tamasin Simpkin. The first season of The Katering Show debuted on Youtube in 2015 and was viewed over 2 million times within its first week online.

In Australia, ABC's catch-up service, iView, commissioned a second season of the show and this production remains one of the platform's highest viewed original series. The Katering Show has also aired on ABC TV's main channel.

In 2017, McCartney and McLennan set their sights on the chirpy world of morning television with their full length satirical comedy Get Krack!n, which was made with the ABC and NBC's SVOD service Seeso.
