Prepare for the gripping final season of “Total Control” on ABC TV, as Deborah Mailman and Rachel Griffiths reprise their roles in this acclaimed political drama. In this thrilling third installment, Kingmaker Alex Irving finds herself facing her greatest challenges yet.

Deborah Mailman delivers a powerful performance as Alex Irving, who holds immense power in the nation’s capital. However, her position is about to be tested like never before. Alongside her, Rachel Griffiths shines as Rachel, who faces an inquiry into allegations of misconduct.

Since anointing Paul Murphy (played by Wayne Blair) as Australia’s first Aboriginal Prime Minister two years ago, Alex has navigated a tumultuous political landscape. The government has grappled with bushfires, a global pandemic, mounting debt, and a shift in public sentiment against them. When a devastating flood strikes part of Alex’s electorate, she takes matters into her own hands and uses the media and an encounter with billionaire Kathleen Sloane to voice her criticism of the government.

Meanwhile, Rachel leads the inquiry into the deaths of Marcie McClain and Jessica Clarke. During this investigation, she must confront allegations of misconduct that have been leveled against her. In a strategic move aimed at public relations, Rachel aligns herself with Alex’s campaign for youth justice reform. She later delivers an inspiring speech outlining her vision for the future of Australian democracy. However, when a journalist from Rachel’s past resurfaces, a looming scandal threatens to unravel everything she has worked for.
