Jodie Whittaker to Lead Paramount+ Original Series ‘One Night’
Production on One Night, a six-part drama from Paramount+, has commenced in Sydney and the Illawarra region. The series is a character-driven mystery about female friendships in extreme emotional and existential turmoil.
The series is developed and written by Emmy winner Emily Ballou, and it is directed by Catherine Millar and Lisa Matthews under the aegis of Easy Tiger and Motive Pictures.The plot of One Night revolves around three ladies whose friendship was nearly shattered by a horrific occurrence that occurred twenty years earlier. Simone (Nicole da Silva) has always wanted to write a novel, but her attempts have mostly been forgotten in a drawer. At the age of forty, she had completed the one story she would never forget, and her first novel has become an instant hit.But it becomes obvious that Simone’s narrative is not the only tragic one in the book. At its heart is a tragedy that also befell her two best friends from childhood, Tess (Jodie Whittaker) and Hat (Yael Stone). It’s getting harder and harder to tell one person’s memory and story apart from another’s, and that’s threatening to disrupt all their friendships. The book is bringing old traumas to the surface in the small coastal town where they grew up, and it’s stirring up the perpetrators, who want to make it all disappear.
Starring George Mason, Erroll Shand, Noni Hazlehurst, Tina Bursill, Damien Strouthos, and Jillian Nguyen alongside ensemble leads Jodie Whittaker, Nicole da Silva, and Yael Stone.
One Night is produced by Easy Tiger’s Ian Collie, Rob Gibson and Ally Henville (Colin From Accounts, The Twelve) with Motive Pictures’ Simon Maxwell (The Woman in the Wall, Get Millie Black) as executive producer and Harriet Creelman, co-executive producer. Written by Emily Ballou, who also serves as executive producer.
Sophia Mogford, Executive Producer, Drama and Comedy, Paramount ANZ expressed her enthusiasm for the project: “One Night is a fantastic drama and such a timely, yet timeless story set against the dramatic backdrop of the New South Wales coastline, and brought to life by a great cast of International and local actors.”
Producers Ian Collie, Rob Gibson and Ally Henville of Easy Tiger added: “We are so excited to be working with Emily Ballou, Simon Maxwell and the team at Motive, as well as our partners at Paramount+, on this brilliantly conceived and executed story. One Night is a gripping, character-driven mystery that explores the boundaries of friendship, and questions our understanding of memory, trauma, and storytelling itself, all set against the majestic beauty of the south coast of New South Wales.”
One Night is a major production investment from Screen Australia in association with Paramount+. Fifth Season is handling international sales.
