Netflix has given a straight-to-series order to the upcoming scripted drama “Queenstown,” a new eight-episode series from creator, writer, and executive producer Chloe Stearns. The project is developed by Stearns alongside producers Jodi Matterson and Libbie Doherty. The series is described as being set in the glamour of a luxury ski town, with Netflix positioning it as its first new New Zealand series.
“Queenstown” is set to star Rufus Sewell, Frances O’Connor, Alycia Debnam-Carey, and Te Kohe Tuhaka. Details beyond the premise, episode count, and cast are not included in the sources provided. The releases describe the production as a Netflix original series and confirm the creative team’s involvement, including Stearns’ prior work referenced by the outlets.
Overall, both reports align on the key points: Netflix’s straight-to-series commitment, the eight-episode structure, the series’ New Zealand setting, and the principal cast and production leadership led by Chloe Stearns.
