The announcement on Monday that Playmaker Media’s six part drama, The Code, will be produced for ABC1 means that the three-year-old company – with its writer-centric approach – will be in back-to-back production during 2013. Better still, the company also has “a handful of projects in network development”.
Playmaker co-founder, David Maher, told ScreenHub that the second series of House Husbands (Nine Network) will commence production in Melbourne in mid-February, with production on The Code beginning mid-year. He would not be drawn on the locations for The Code, preferring to allow state agencies to make the announcement.
