'Book of Boba Fett' star Temuera Morrison and Robyn Malcolm are set to lead 'Far North,' a new Sundance Now series set in New Zealand.
Fresh off of his appearance as the titular intergalactic bounty hunter in The Book of Boba Fett, New Zealand native Temuera Morrison is returning to his roots with a new series for Sundance Now titled Far North.
Far North hails from David White , who created, directed, and conducted research for the series. The series is based on a real series of events that took place in Ahipara, though everyone has remained mum on the finer details. White also served as a screenwriter alongside Suli Moa and Mingjian Cui . In total, the show will consist of six one-hour episodes.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Production of Far North is a joint effort between U.S. and New Zealand studios with South Pacific Pictures and White Balance Pictures leading the project. They're producing for Sundance Now , Paramount+ , Warner Bros. Discovery , and All3Media International. Among the executive producers is White who'll work through his White Balance banner along with South Pacific Pictures CEO Kelly Martin. Chris Bailey will also produce while Nicole Horan will line produce.
Morrison and Malcolm each bring strong resumes into the series even beyond the former's turn as Boba Fett. Before starring in the Disney+ series, Morrison had a solid relationship with Star Wars, originating the role of Jango Fett for Attack of the Clones. Going back further, his career really took off after his starring role in the 1994 film Once Were Warriors.
Malcolm, meanwhile, is best known in her native New Zealand where she started her rise to local stardom on the soap opera Shortland Street before taking her defining role in Outrageous Fortune. She's received some award buzz in her home country, particularly for her role in Serial Killers. Her acting prowess also earned her a small role in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.
