Stan has announced a slew of new local commissions as it ramps up ambitious plans to have around a third of its first-run slate come from original production.
These include Hoodlum Entertainment feature film Christmas on the Farm, Matchbox Pictures drama Bad Behaviour, and a number of projects with Roadshow Rough Diamond, with whom the Nine-owned streamer has extended its partnership. With the latter it is readying a third season of Bump and a spin-off, Year Of, as well as a Gregor Jordan-helmed crime drama, Ironside.
Last year, Stan flagged it intends to invest in more than 30 productions per year within five years, drawing on Nine’s production facilities and co-productions with international partners including Hollywood studios and international networks.
Earlier this month, the service announced a children’s feature film initiative with the Australian Children’s Television Foundation (Actf), and it has a lengthy list of upcoming local projects...

I want you to imagine a tiny bundle of tan fur with pointy ears like a Chihuahua, the short, scruffy body of a corgi and warm, engaging brown eyes. Got that? Well, that was my first actual pet dog, his name was Regalito, and I will never forget him.
The name Regalito is Spanish for “little gift,” and he was, both literally and figuratively. The dog was a going-away present from my grandfather to me when I was 6 years old, when my family decided to move away from the farm to the big city, Mazatlán.
The move was a huge turning point,...
