Sainsbury’s ‘Small Town Scandal’ Series Coming Soon

DEGANZ members Ghazaleh Gol and Calvin Sang are directing the upcoming comedy mystery series Small Town Scandal for Sky NZ Originals.

Adapted from comedian Tom Sainsbury’s hit podcast, the show follows disgraced journalist Toby (played by Sainsbury) as he investigates the suspicious lawn mower-related death of his millionaire uncle. As Toby dives into the whodunnit mystery set in the fictional town of Te Hōiho, the show questions which of the quirky small-town suspects is behind the scandal.

While Sainsbury voiced all the characters on the podcast, he will be joined by Morgana O’Reilly, Alexander England, and more to fill out the show’s zany cast of characters.

Small Town Scandal is currently filming in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington and is set to come out later this year. We look forward to watching!
