SPP Receives Funding For Settling

Led by Pax Assadi and Hannah Marshall of Raised by Refugees’ fame, the romantic comedy series for Three, follows two disillusioned 30-somethings as they carry out their teenage pact – a platonic marriage – to satisfy family and society’s expectations.

"Pax and I are absolutely thrilled and so grateful to NZOA for the support they have given to Settling. This show is our creative love child and we put our hearts into crafting something that we wanted to see, characters we wanted to inhabit and a story we wanted to tell about two misfits in a modern Aotearoa. Settling is an authentic, warts and all, kiwi non-rom-com and we can’t believe we actually get to (platonically) do it", says Hannah. 

"Thank you SPP for your support and belief in this project, THREE for backing us whole heartedly and NZOA, again, for making it possible. We cannot wait to get on set and bring this baby to life. *all puns intended. “
