NZ On Air has today announced funding for a major new drama series, intended for prime time on TV One, from the writers and producers of Outrageous Fortune and Go Girls. Nothing Trivial is a warmly comic drama based around a pub quiz team of five friends with one thing in common: each is unlucky or unhappy in love. The 13-part series will receive $6.9 million.
“We’re very excited to be supporting this project,” said NZ On Air chief executive Jane Wrightson. “We’ve been looking for a quality drama to serve TV One audiences for a while now, and this one has all the credentials. The series deals with matters common to us all – life, love and the pursuit of happiness – in a witty and quintessentially Kiwi way.”
