New zealand tv shows

When people think of New Zealand film and television, things like Peter Jackson’s epic Lord of the Rings trilogy and HBO’s hilarious Flight of the Conchords usually come to mind.

They may even think of Taika Waititi and his ever-growing catalog of funny yet thoughtful productions such as BOY, Jojo Rabbit,Reservation Dogs,or even the cult classic What We Do in the Shadows(including the US spin-off series of the same name, which recently aired its third season).

While all this content is great, there is a whole world of New Zealand television that is just waiting to be discovered by global audiences, including both shows featuring up-and-coming talent and higher budget productions with more globally recognized cast and crew.

If you enjoy the small amount of Kiwi content that has filtered into the Hollywood sphere and are looking to diversify your current media diet, then here are six television shows made in New Zealand you’ve been missing out on.
