‘After The Party’ Producer Helen Bowden On Robyn Malcolm’s Star Turn, Roles For Older Women & Why A Second Season Of Kiwi Drama Isn’t Happening


'After the Party' producer Helen Bowden talks about Robyn Malcolm's performance, roles for older women and the show's creeper hit status.

The series, from Australian indie Lingo Pictures, stars Malcolm, who co-created the morally-grey show with Dianne Taylor, as the no-nonsense Penny who accuses her ex-husband, Phil ( Peter Mullan), of a sex crime with a minor. Lingo is developing a show with a lead role that we’d love Robyn to play and Peter Salmon, who directed all six episodes, has set up our new thriller Watching You, which is currently shooting in Sydney. We’re also developing a mini-series for the ABC about Robodebt, a scandal that resulted in the biggest class action in Australian history and which has shocking parallels with the story of Mr Bates vs the Post Office.
