Nitv and ABC Children’s have jointly commissioned five-part children’s series Thalu from Weerianna Street Media, with production now underway in the Pilbara, Wa.
Produced by Weerianna Street’s Tyson Mowarin and Robyn Marais with Bernadette O’Mahony from the Australian Children’s Television Foundation (Actf), Thalu is described as an “ode to the Pilbera and its people”.
