As previously mentioned, Territory is an Australian neo-Western family drama centered around the cattle business created by Timothy Lee and Ben Davies.

The series takes us Down Under to Marianne Station – a piece of land the size of Belgium – that has been owned and operated by the Lawson family for generations.

When de facto heir Daniel (Jake Ryan) is killed, the Lawson dynasty risks being torn apart as players vie to succeed family patriarch Colin Lawson (Robert Taylor).

This generational conflict is not the only problem that Marianne Station faces. Other key players – rival cattle barons, desert gangsters, indigenous elders and billionaire miners – sense the family is in disarray and all have their eyes on the target. It is a fight for land and legacy, and there is much more at stake.

In addition to Taylor and Ryan, “Territory” also features a large ensemble cast including Anna Torv (“The Last Of Us”), Michael Dorman, Sam Corlett, Sara Wiseman, Clarence Ryan and Philippa Northeast.
