剧情介绍

What happens on screen, and what happened behind the camera.

Picture this: a ski town where the champagne powder is perfect and the secrets are buried deep. A young patroller finds a body in the snow. A detective from Auckland arrives, discovers the town closes ranks faster than the avalanche gates. This is Netflix's 'Queenstown.' Netflix's first locally commissioned New Zealand original series is filming right now across Queenstown, the wider Central Otago region, and the Southern Alps. It's a scripted drama set in a ski resort town , and for the first time, Queenstown isn't standing in for somewhere else. It's playing itself.

Netflix has confirmed 'Queenstown' as its first locally commissioned New Zealand original series, a scripted drama set in a ski resort town that is filming right now across Queenstown, the wider Central Otago basin, and into Fiordland.

The cast is led by Rufus Sewell (The Diplomat, The Man in the High Castle) and Frances O'Connor (The Missing, Mansfield Park): serious dramatic actors, not reality stars passing through. This is proper prestige television, the kind of production that transforms how a destination is perceived globally.
