Bliss is written and directed by Fiona Samuel (Piece of My Heart, Outrageous Fortune), produced by Michael Fantl (Piece of My Heart, 50 Was of Saying Fabulous).
NZ On Air chief executive Jane Wrightson noted that the $15.1 million Platinum Fund was specially created to support high quality local content. “Bliss is a perfect example of the kind of programming NZ On Air set out to encourage … NZ On Air is delighted with the calibre of this team and the great script that has been developed.”
