But he dies a gruesome death, leaving the position wide open, sparking a fierce dogfight.

Other members of Daniel’s family want in on the action, but the vultures are circling too, offering big money for a piece of the pie – or the whole damn thing.

Who will come out on top? And what does the future hold for the mighty Marianne Station?

But it’s not just the drama that will draw you in. The backdrop against which all the warfare and scheming unfolds will take your breath away – and, to use an old-fashioned cliché, is a character unto itself, rewarding some and leaving others in its dust.

Where was Netflix’s Territory filmed?

Filming took place throughout Australia Northern Territory and South Australia. According to Netflix, many of the locations are “barely inhabited” and have never been seen on screen before.

Major locations include:

• Kakadu National Park – a World Heritage Site and one of the largest national parks in Australia (almost 20,000 square kilometers). A number of Aboriginal communities still live in the region.
• Mallala – a small South Australian town, 62 kilometers north of Adelaide.
• Tipperary Station – a real working cattle station. It’s so big that it even has its own airstrip and school.

“It took us a long time to get Tipperary Station on board, and it’s a testament to (show creator) Ben Davies, who had that relationship having worked there previously,” said executive producer Rob Gibson (via Perth Now).

He added: “We were both excited by the prospect of doing a large-scale, high-stakes action drama set on a cattle farm, in a part of the country you don’t often see on screen.

“If you just drive in, it takes 40 minutes from the exit to the station gate. To drive over it can take hours, and if you really want to move around the place you need a helicopter, which is a necessary part is living and earning from the station.

“Something with such vastness and scale is exactly what we were looking for to sell the vision of the world’s largest cattle station.”

About 140 of the 180 crew lived on the station in a “camping village” for the first month of filming, before moving on to Kakadu and the south.

“It’s a huge production effort to pull this off in such a remote location,” says Davies (via IF).

“In terms of infrastructure and scale, this livestock operation is unmatched anywhere else in the world, so fortunately it is suitable for our large cast and crew.

“And with the team based here, we capture remarkably authentic images that, combined with powerful storytelling, encapsulate the world we want to share, not just locally but globally.”

Initially called Desert King, Territory is the largest Netflix series ever shot in South Australia.

Territory is now available to stream on Netflix – sign up from £4.99 per month. Netflix is ​​also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
