The Unusual Suspects to stream on HULU

HULU has acquired U.S. rights to “The Unusual Suspects,” an English-language heist series starring Miranda Otto (“Homeland”), Aina Dumlao (“Ballers”) and Michelle Vergara Moore (“Condor”), which will compete at Series Mania in Lille.

The Australian series is represented in international markets by the Paris-based co-production and distribution banner About Premium Content (APC), and was produced by Aquarius Films’ (“Lion,” “Berlin Syndrome”) Angie Fielder and Polly Staniford for SBS Australia.

The show garnered strong reviews when it launched on SBS Australia in June 2021 and was described by local newspaper The Australian as “blending the risky class conflict machinations of the Oscar-winning ‘Parasite’ with the vigorously full-throttle comic delivery of the Coen Brothers’ most out-there films.”
