Filming Locations

Shot in the Northern Territory and South Australia, the series uses locations like Kakadu National Park and Tipperary Station. These areas are so vast that helicopters and private jets are needed for travel. With land holdings bigger than some countries, it’s a massive, money-filled industry.

Creators Timothy Lee and Ben Davies brought this high-stakes drama to life. During a beach walk amid a pandemic, they envisioned a story contrasting with their surroundings, imagining people in jeans and boots in the Top End.

Production Team

Executive producers are Davies, Rob Gibson, and Ian Collie. Paul Ranford is the producer, with writers including Lee, Kodie Bedford, Steven McGregor, and Michaeley O’Brien. Directed by Greg McLean, Territory is produced by Easy Tiger and Ronde for Netflix, with support from Screen Territory and the SAFC.
