Prime Video unveils first footage from Amazon’s upcoming Australian original series Top End Bub

Prime Video, Goalpost Pictures and ZDF Studios have released the first images of the highly anticipated romantic comedy series Top End Bub.

The new eight-part series, created by Miranda Tapsell and Joshua Tyler, is a sequel to the hit 2019 film Top End Wedding. Set to premiere in 2025 on Prime Video in Australia and New Zealand, Top End Bub will expand Amazon’s impressive line-up of Australian films on Prime Video.

Top End Bub sees Miranda Tapsell (Love Child, The Sapphires, The Artful Trickster) and Gwilym Lee (Bohemian Rhapsody, The Great) return to reprise their roles as Lauren and Ned from the 2019 box office hit . Also returning are Ursula Jovich and Hugh Higginson as Daffy and Trevor, Lauren’s parents; Shari Sebbens as Ronelle; Elaine Crombie as Dana; and Tracey Mann as Annie, Ned’s mom. Joining the cast are Rob Collins, Brooke Satchwell, Guy Simon, Clarence Ryan, and Gladys-Mae Kelly making her debut as Taya aka “Bub”.

The new series is created, written and executive produced by Top End Wedding writers Joshua Tyler and Miranda Tapsell and produced by Goalpost Pictures. Rosemary Blythe of Goalpost Pictures is an executive producer, and the series is directed by Christian Van Vuuren and Shari Sebbens. Top End Bub is supported by Screen Australia, Screen Territory and the South Australian Film Corporation. The series was filmed in the Northern Territory and Adelaide and will launch on Prime Video in Australia and New Zealand. Top End Bub will be distributed worldwide by ZDF Studios.

Top End Bub revisits Lauren, a dynamic Indigenous lawyer pursuing life goals in Adelaide. She is married to Ned, a handsome husband who makes fresh croissants. What else could a person need? After Lauren’s eight-year-old niece is orphaned, the series follows the couple as they reluctantly give up their big city goals and move to the Top End (where the outback meets the tropics) to raise the child. As Lauren and Ned juggle the responsibilities of becoming surprise parents and trying to save their marriage, Lauren must come to terms with her responsibilities within her culture as she transforms from a maverick to the core of her family.
