The creative team will be headed by Sue Taylor in an Executive Producer role, supported by Ian Booth, Francesca Strano and Natalie Bell as Producers.

The Marx and Venus initiative was launched at last year’s Small Screen Big Picture Television Conference and features flat-mates John Marx and Venus Hoy – and the trials and tribulations they face sharing their flat. The programs are to be used as interstitials in SBS’ schedule. They are intended to be bright and fresh and fit an M classification. Marx and Venus is to be a stripped drama, to be shown five nights a week in primetime, and each episode will be only five minutes long.
