Stan has greenlit a new original drama series, Love Divided by Eleven, exploring the aftermath of a tragic loss and the unexpected connections formed through organ donation. The show, starring Brooke Satchwell, will premiere in 2025.
Here’s What Happened: Stan announced Love Divided by Eleven, a six-part drama series produced by Gristmill. The series follows Lillian (Brooke Satchwell), who, after the death of her fiancé Ash, seeks out the recipients of his donated organs. Filming took place in Victoria, Australia, and the show is a co-production with international sales handled by Hat Trick International. The Stan Original Series is set to debut in 2025.
What This Means Now: Viewers can anticipate a new Australian drama that tackles a sensitive, yet life-affirming topic. The involvement of established production companies and a solid cast, which includes Eleanor Matsuura, Ryan Johnson and Ben Lawson, suggests a high-quality production. The show’s focus on organ donation provides a unique angle, moving away from typical drama tropes.
The Bigger Picture: This announcement shows Stan’s continued investment in original Australian content. The series taps into universal themes of loss and recovery, made more potent by its focus on the tangible impact of organ donation. It also boosts the Australian television industry, providing opportunities for local actors, directors, producers and film crews.
