[email protected] As at 4.7.13 The powerful new 8 x 1 hour miniseries produced by Screentime, a Banijay Group company, for ABC1. Following twelve months maternity leave, Senior Crown Prosecutor Janet King (Marta Dusseldorp) returns to the DPP to confront a high-profile murder and a conspiracy, which will have shocking ramifications throughout the judicial system - as well as threaten all she holds dear. With Tony Gillies (Peter Kowitz) now the Director and a rising star prosecutor (Damian Walshe-Howling as Owen Mitchell) well entrenched in the DPP, Janet juggles legal cases and motherhood in equal measure. Following the Attorney General’s decree that there be a closer working relationship between the DPP and the Police, Chief Superintendent Jack Rizzoli (Vince Colosimo) is taking a very ‘hands on’ approach in the cases for prosecution, and especially Janet’s campaign to expose the truth behind a shocking murder that strikes at the very heart of the justice system. Also appearing in the compelling high stakes legal thriller are John Howard, Jessica Napier, Zoe Carides, Terry Serio, Deborah Kennedy and Tiriel Mora, as well as returning Crownies alumni Hamish Michael, Ella Scott Lynch, Christopher Morris, Andrea Demetriades, Jeanette Cronin, Lewis Fitz-Gerald, Aimee Pedersen, and Indiana Evans. © 2013 Screentime Pty Ltd, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Screen NSW Page 2 Janet King was series produced by Karl Zwicky, produced by Lisa Scott and co-produced by Jane Allen, with Hilary Bonney as story consultant and associate producer.
