Homeland (Season 8)
Mid 2019
Season 8 is the final season of Homeland, and it takes off from the conclusion of Season 7 and its eerily accurate reflection of the world’s current political and national security landscape. Carrie Mathison (Danes) worked to expose a vast international conspiracy determined to bring down the Keane Administration. Carrie, along with the administration’s new National Security Advisor Saul Berenson (Patinkin) are thrown into a labyrinth of double agents, social media bots, ‘fake news’ charlatans and Russian active measures - all designed to wreak havoc on America’s democratic institutions.
Wellington Paranormal Season 2
Mid 2019
Officers Minogue and O’Leary of the Wellington Police’s fledgling Paranormal Unit battle the sinister and the supernatural in this strange lovechild of the ‘X-Files’ and ‘Highway Patrol’. The show is a perfect mix of understated Kiwi Comedy and found footage horror. Wellington Paranormal is directed, produced and edited by comedy legend Jemaine Clement, with the help of director Jackie Van Beek and executive producer Taika Waititi.
