Series. It’s 1989. After achieving their dreams, Dale reigns as ‘King of News’ and Helen’s fearless reporting earns her acclaim. But when a cynical network move pits the former lovers against each other, their bond will be tested like never before. Watch the trailer.

From ScreenHub’s review of The Newsreader Season 3:

‘It’s a sign of how confident The Newsreader has become that the first episode in its third and final season is focused almost entirely on its characters.

‘The show’s big hook – which it returns to in later episodes – is weaving news coverage of topical (for the 80s) events in with the personal struggles of its cast of reporters and producers. It’s been a winning balance of nostalgia and drama since the series became a breakout hit back in 2021; for now at least, drama has won out.

‘The year is 1989, and since we last saw them the journalistic careers of Helen Norville (Anna Torv) and Dale Jennings (Sam Reid) have taken them in very different directions. Helen is now a globe-trotting investigative journalist, skipping from one hotspot to another (the opening has her on the scene at the Lockerbie plane disaster). Dale is now the top news reader in the country, dominating the ratings and enjoying all the perks that come with it.’ Read more …
