Be Yourself. Be Happy.

Of the grand order of folio leviathans, the Sperm Whale and the Right Whale are by far the most noteworthy. They are the only whales regularly hunted by man. To the Nantucketer, they present the two extremes of all the known varieties of the whale. As the external difference between them is mainly observable in their heads; and as a head of each is this moment hanging from the Pequod's side.

Stay Positive. Always.

Darwin shines in newly released Top End Bub trailer

Posted by Molly Upstill

The trailer for the highly-anticipated Top End Bub has thrilled audiences ahead of its launch on Prime Video next month.

The eight-part series, launching on September 12, is a follow-up to the 2019 box office hit Top End Wedding, starring Darwin’s own Miranda Tapsell and Gwilym Lee.

Top End Bub is a heart-warming series that sees Tapsell (Love Child, The Sapphires, The Artful Dodger) and Lee (Bohemian Rhapsody, The Great) reprise their roles as Lauren and Ned who are living their best lives in the city which is tragically interrupted when Lauren’s sister Ronelle dies in a car crash in the Top End.

Rushing back to Darwin, Lauren and Ned are thrown into the chaos of Top End life with Lauren’s parents, Daffy and Trevor, and confronted with another curveball when they unexpectedly become the guardians of Ronelle’s lively and cheeky young daughter, Taya.

Just like in Top End Wedding, Darwin takes centre stage in Top End Bub, with our troppo homes, landscapes and scenery making a stunning appearance on camera.

Tapsell and Lee reprise their roles as Lauren and Ned in Top End Bub.

Places like Kakadu, the Tiwi Islands and Katherine made an appearance in Top End Wedding, and promises to do the same again the second time around.

“Josh Tyler and I had such a ball writing Top End Wedding that we just had to get the whole team back together to reunite Lauren and Ned for a new spin off series Top End Bub,” said Miranda Tapsell.

“Everything you love most about them; their family and the Top End is all there for you to enjoy.

“In a world full of chaos and anger, we hope the show brings joy and laughter into your home.”
