If you missed it first time around, tonight SBS is screening its excellent 2015 drama The Principal, starring Alex Dimitriades.

He won the Most Outstanding Actor Logie for his performance, last year.

Set in a boy’s high school, this four part drama series features AACTA award-winning Alex Dimitriades (The Slap, Underbelly) who plays the role of Matt Bashir, a former history teacher and Deputy Principal at a prestigious girls’ school, who is promoted to Principal of Boxdale Boys High.

Boxdale Boys High is a notoriously violent and difficult school and Principal Bashir is brought in because of his different and radical approach to reform. The sudden change brings him into conflict on all fronts and even leaves his personal life exposed. Still, Bashir works overtime to get the local community on side, promising change, but just when it seems he is making progress, a student is found dead on school grounds.

The Principal was created by award-winning producer Ian Collie (Saving Mr Banks, Rake, Jack Irish), along with Rachel Turk and Kristen Dunphy, and directed by multi award-winning Kriv Stenders (Red Dog, Boxing Day). The new crime drama showcases a range of high calibre Australian talent including AFI nominated Aden Young (Rectify, East West 101) and AACTA award-winning Mirrah Foulkes (Animal Kingdom, Hawaii Five-0).

Part I is 9:30pm tonight on SBS.
