This weekend ABC will unveil another series commissioned especially for iview: Noirhouse.
The 6 part comedy/drama is available as an online binge from 10am Sunday November 2 on iview.
These ‘film-noir style’ webisodes are set in a share house riddled with flying bullets, steamy looks and split bills.
Shot in Hobart, this one is produced by Fiona McConaghy, directed by Shaun Wilson, written by Tim Logan and created by Tim Logan, Shaun Wilson & Nathan Spencer.
In Noirhouse, a hard-boiled detective (Nathan Spencer), a sultry femme-fatale (Melanie Irons), and a sentimental Russian thug (Mick Davies), all archetypes straight out of 1940s film noir, share a house in present day suburbia. They would have killed one another already, but the dead don’t pay the rent.
Our three favourite inmates of the big, black & white share house are threatened with eviction and discover a hidden treasure so hot it has a history of burning anyone it touches. While the Russian has had enough of his housemates’ kiss kiss, bang bang, relationship, the Detective is obsessed with finding who’s really behind their former housemate Alice’s brutal murder and Nadia expressly double crosses them both.
Can the Noiries get on the same page in time to face not one, but two deadly villains?
Will they ever get their bond back, what with all these fresh bullet holes in the wall?
