Stan Original Series Population 11, starring some of Australia’s most extraordinary BTS talent, brings their comedy to small-town Australia. And if you saw the incredible true-life Netflix documentary Last Stop Larrimah and hoped it could be made into a drama TV series, here is the next best thing.
Population 11 | Official Trailer
Ben Feldman headlines Stan and Lionsgate’s ‘Population 11’. This original series is poised to be a massively enjoyable and jam-packed trip, both as a thriller and a comedy.
The 12-part series is based on the reported missing case of Paddy Moriarty, who was last seen in the remote Northern Territory town of Larrimah around December 2017. It was also the subject of the new Netflix documentary Last Stop Larrimah.
The story revolves around a guy (Darren Gilshenan) who goes missing from a small outback town of just 12 people and his estranged son Andy, portrayed by Feldman, who travels from the United States to find him.
Cassie (Perry Mooney), another outsider, comes to Andy’s help, and they find themselves in more dangerous situations as they investigate the town’s mysteries. It’s a classic caper full of twists and turns (and dark humor) as several people on the program are given the suspect treatment.
