“Engrossing” Australian crime drama that “weaves an intricate web” lands UK streaming home

The Australian crime drama Savage River is now available to stream in the UK. The show, which first aired in Australia almost four years ago, centers around a woman who returns to her hometown after being released from prison.

Miki Anderson (played by Katherine Langford of Knives Out) dreams of a peaceful fresh start, but her hopes are destroyed when a shocking murder happens in her small town.

With the town believing she’s responsible, Miki must uncover Savage River’s hidden history to prove her innocence. She soon realizes the truth is even more threatening than the life she tried to escape.

Fans in the UK can now watch Savage River on ITVX starting April 12th.

The series features Mark Coles Smith, known for Apple Cider Vinegar, alongside Robert Grubb from The Newsreader, Nadine Garner of Lie with Me, Jacqueline McKenzie from Mix Tape, and Cooper Van Grootel, who starred in One of Us Is Lying. It also stars Langford.
