Principal photography is underway in Melbourne, Australia for Netflix limited series “Clickbait”, and the show has just nabbed a bunch of international stars! Zoe Kazan, Betty Gabriel, Adrian Grenier & Phoenix Raei have all signed on for the series, which is an eight-episode character-based thriller series from Tony Ayres, David Heyman, NBCUniversal International Studios and Australian-based Matchbox Pictures.
Co-written by Ayres and Christian White, “Clickbait” explores the ways in which our most dangerous and uncontrolled impulses are fueled in the age of social media and reveals the ever widening fractures we find between our virtual and real-life personas.
Per Deadline:
Kazan will play Pia Brewer, a young woman desperate for answers in the search for her missing brother — a case that has become a media sensation.
Gabriel will portray Sophie Brewer, an Oakland woman struggling to keep her family together as they become the subject of the biggest media story in the nation.
Grenier will play Nick Brewer, who has a seemingly perfect life: loving wife, two sons, beautiful home. His life is derailed when he becomes a part of this bizarre crime.
Raei will portray Roshan Amir, a detective with the Oakland Police Department who finds himself at the center of a media storm as he investigates this case.
“Clickbait” is the first Netflix original series to be made in Victoria and will be produced at Melbourne’s Docklands Studios.
