SIX NEW NOIRHOUSE EPISODES COMING SOON TO ABC IVIEW

It’s been a big month for Noirhouse. We’ve sneakily been on set for half of May, shooting six shiny brand new episodes, and have legendary Australian broadcaster ABC on board to bring Noirhouse to a wider audience.

After we released the first three episodes in September 2013, Sky Machine teamed up with Latitude Films to get more Noirhouse made. Since then, we’ve received funding from Screen Australia through their multiplatform fund, Screen Tasmania has committed support again after funding the initial episodes, and ABC has picked up the series for streaming through iview.

With all of them on board, we pumped out six new scripts, and returned to the Noirhouse in May to shoot them. With only 7 shoot days to get all 6 episodes shot, it was a hell of a ride, but with the stellar cast and crew behind Noirhouse we pulled it off.

The episodes are now in post-production. You’ll be seeing them late this year. Australian audiences will get them first on iview, and the rest of the world through YouTube shortly after.

There’s much more to the tale of the Detective, Nadia, and the Russian. Things are more complex, more dangerous, and even more ridiculous than they first appear.

Keep a close eye on the Noirhouse Facebook page and Twitter feed to keep in the loop.

POUR A SCOTCH, MORE NOIRHOUSE IS OFFICIALLY ON THE WAY

Just three months after the first three Noirhouse episodes went live, we’re damn pleased to announce Screen Australia has committed finance for us to make more.

In 2014 you’ll be seeing six brand new episodes with even more dramatic hijinks from your favourite housemates. What the hell is Mount Praise Ministries? Why was Alice killed? Who’s really pulling the strings? And whose turn is it to vacuum the stairs? You’ll soon find out.

Not only is our original team returning, but the experienced and debonaire Fiona McConaghy is now on board as producer, so Shaun and Nathan can focus on the bits they’re better at. She’s already made a hell of a difference – we wouldn’t be getting back on set so soon without her.

There’s some other partnerships we’ll be announcing soon too. Rest assured, things haven’t been quiet at Sky Machine. You’re going to be seeing a hell of a lot more Noirhouse.

Thanks to everyone who’s been watching and sharing the series. We can’t wait to get you more.

In the meantime, bring yourself back up to speed on Noirhouse, starting with Episode 1 here.

The initial Noirhouse miniseries was funded through Screen Tasmania.
