SUNDANCE NOW AND ACORN TV ACQUIRE NEW ZEALAND DRAMA SERIES "ONE LANE BRIDGE"

AMC Networks' Sundance Now and Acorn TV Acquire New Zealand Drama Series ONE LANE BRIDGE from all3media international

The new dark crime drama with a supernatural edge arrives this fall on Sundance Now and Acorn TV

New York, NY; August 6, 2020 - AMC Networks' streaming services Sundance Now and Acorn TV acquire exclusive rights to New Zealand drama series ONE LANE BRIDGE from leading independent distributor all3media international. Sundance Now will feature the exclusive U.S. and Canadian premieres, while Acorn TV will feature the exclusive U.K. and Latin American premieres. Created by Pip Hall (800 Words) and Philip Smith and starring Joel Tobeck (The Luminaries), Michelle Langstone (800 Words), Sara Wiseman (A Place to Call Home), Alison Bruce (The Gulf),and Dominic Ona-Ariki (The Commons), the six-episode series offers a character-driven crime drama with a dark, supernatural edge. ONE LANE BRIDGE will make its U.S. and Canadian Premiere on Sundance Now on Thursday, September 17, 2020 with weekly episodes. Acorn TV will feature its U.K. and Latin American premieres later this fall.

Ambitious young Māori detective, Ariki Davis (Dominic Ona-Ariki) arrives in Queenstown with high hopes for his future. When local legend Grub Ryder is found dead at the bottom of the infamous One Lane Bridge, Ariki joins the investigation led by his boss, respected stalwart, Detective Senior Sergeant Stephen Tremaine (Joel Tobeck). During the investigation, Ariki inadvertently unlocks his Matakite - a supernatural ability akin to second sight that he hasn't experienced since his youth. As ONE LANE BRIDGE twists and turns and the pressure to solve the crime heats up, Māori metaphysics collides with Southern Man scepticism and Ariki's spiritual gift threatens to endanger the case, his career and his life.

And at the centre of it all sits the mysterious One Lane Bridge, a historic Queenstown landmark synonymous with murder, suicide and fatal accidents. Grub's death wasn't the first. And it won't be the last...

Shannon Cooper, VP of Programming, Sundance Now, said, "With a stellar ensemble of top New Zealand talent, a picturesque setting and a gripping supernatural twist, ONE LANE BRIDGE is sure to become a new favorite for Sundance Now subscribers. Our friends at all3media continue to be excellent partners for finding excellent high-end drama."

We know it will prove to be a gripping new addition to their line-ups."
