Binge Sets 2026 Slate Featuring Postcard Bandit Doc, Apocalypse Co-Pro and Tough Love

The announcements signal a twin-track strategy spanning marquee storytelling with premium sport across Foxtel's platforms.

Overview

  • Binge commissioned The Postcard Bandit, a two-part, one-hour true-crime documentary on Brenden Abbott from Warner Bros International Television Production Australia, directed by Stephen McCallum, to sit alongside the previously announced six-part drama Run starring George Mason.
  • Foxtel executives said producers are ready to re-edit the documentary should Abbott’s parole status change, with cameras prepared to capture new developments.
  • The streamer has joined Channel 4’s Apocalypse, an eight-part survival social experiment set to film soon on a purpose-built ruined-city site at a secret military location with UK and Australian participants.
  • Apocalypse is produced by The Garden and ITV Studios Australia with ITV Studios handling global distribution, and Binge will receive a bespoke Australian version.
  • Foxtel’s Kayo Sports detailed new and renewed rights that secure coverage of all four golf majors, the PGA and DP World Tours, a multi-year Supercars deal, and a long-term ESPN renewal spanning major US leagues.
