Craving a new heart warming drama filled to the brim with A+ Australian talent? Well, Paramount+ has just the show for you.
Dalliance is a new six-part drama series called featuring Logie winners Georgie Parker, Hugo Weaving, David Wenham and Heather Mitchell, just to name a few.
According to the official press release, the series is a “heart-wrenching, affectionate and at-times hilarious” drama about the relationships within a group of best friends who have just entered their 60s. As it turns out, this new stage of existence– and the ups and downs of life, love and sex that come with it — is not at all what they expected.
“If you think you’ll get it all worked out by your 60s, think again,” actor and producer Heather Mitchell jokes, per the press release.
The series follows a charismatic former cameraman named Billy (Hugo Weaving) whose life is turned upside down after he meets beautiful restaurateur Dani (Heather Mitchell) while on a Sydney Harbour ferry. They click instantly, feeling sparks fly between them. The catch? Billy has been married to Rose (Georgie Parker) for 40 years.
Still, Billy decides to bring Dani home to meet Rose. What happens next is described as “a series of lifechanging events which have far reaching consequences”.
