The Kettering Incident is an Australian television drama series, first broadcast on Foxtel's Showcase channel on July 4, 2016. The series was created by Victoria Madden and Vincent Sheehan, produced by Porchlight Films and Sweet Potato Films, and was written by Victoria Madden, Louise Fox, Cate Shortland and Andrew Knight. A sneak preview of the series launched at the 2015 Dark MoFo festival, with two episodes shown to select audiences at nine locations around Tasmania.
The series was filmed in and around the town of Kettering and Bruny Island in Tasmania, as announced in February 2014 by the then Premier of Tasmania, Lara Giddings, during a press conference in Kettering. The series was funded by Screen Australia, Screen Tasmania, Foxtel and BBC Worldwide, and was developed with the assistance of British broadcaster Channel 4.
The series was budgeted at fifteen million dollars, and was promoted as the first adult drama filmed in Tasmania. The series was directed by Rowan Woods and Tony Krawitz. The executive producer is Penny Win. A second season is currently in early development with creator, Victoria Madden, describing the potential next season as 'deeper and darker' than the first.
Dr. Anna Macy (Elizabeth Debicki) left Kettering when she was just fourteen, shortly after her best friend (and half-sister), Gillian Baxter, mysteriously disappeared. The two girls had been cycling through the forbidden forests outside Kettering when they saw strange lights in the sky. Eight hours later, Anna was found alone, terrified and covered in blood.
Fifteen years later, Anna returns to find the town struggling to survive. The forests have been marked for logging and the town is on edge following violent clashes between environmentalists and the local loggers. Anna's reappearance causes a stir when another girl, Chloe Holloway (Sianoa Smit-McPhee) suddenly disappears, prompting Anna to discover what really happened the night Gillian disappeared, and in doing so, uncovering secrets that threaten the future of Kettering.
