Generational clashes threaten to tear apart a family dynasty in Netflix's Territory, set in Australia's Northern Territory.
When the heir to Marianne Station and the Lawson cattle empire Daniel Lawson is mauled to death by a pack of dingoes, patriarch Colin Lawson , played by Robert Taylor, must seek a new successor."It's just a big, rollicking yarn about a dysfunctional family that's got all this land," Taylor, who has also appeared in Longmire and The Newsreader, told ABC News."There's all these competing interests and it's just how that shakes out.
There's a scene halfway through the first episode of the show where mining billionaire Sandra Kirby outlines the hierarchy of land ownership in the Northern Territory."Mining leases trump everything … we're top of the food chain because we keep the lights on for the entire world."Ryan says Brannock is torn between his responsibilities to his community and the mostly white-owned cattle industry that values money and power.
Sam Delich , who plays the impulsive and fast-talking Rich Petrakis , says the intense heat in the Northern Territory — where it would get up to 40-45 degrees Celsius every day — helped with character and story development.
