Paramount Australia has announced a suite of new local commissions coming to its streaming platform, Paramount+, in 2025, alongside a strong lineup of international content.

Among the highlights of the upcoming year is new original drama series, 'Playing Gracie Darling', produced by Curio Pictures. Created and written by Miranda Nation (Undertow) and directed by Jonathan Brough (Rosehaven, The Family Law), Playing Gracie Darling features an ensemble cast of notable names, including Morgana O'Reilly (The White Lotus Season Three, Friends Like Me) playing Joni, Rudi Dharmalingam (Wakefield, Great Expectations) playing Jay, Celia Pacquola (Rosehaven, Love Me) playing Ruth, Annie Maynard who plays Anita (Upper Middle Bogan, Colin From Accounts) and Anne Tenney (The Castle, A Country Practice) playing Moira, with more announcements to follow.

The murder mystery series will set to uncover the truth 27 years on from when Joni's best friend Gracie Darling first disappeared in a small town during a séance. With another mysterious disappearance, Joni will be forced to confront deep fears of the unknown to find out what really happened to Gracie that fateful night.

Paramount+ has also teamed up with Network 10 and BBC studios Productions Australia to launch 'Ghosts Australia', the first local iteration of the hit British comedy series 'Ghosts'.
