One of Australia’s most popular television dramas is coming to Victoria.

Creative Industries Minister Vicki Ward has announced that the reboot of McLeod’s Daughters will be filmed in regional Victoria and produced by Werner Film Productions.

The series will film almost entirely in regional Victoria, showcasing local landscapes, communities and culture and has been supported by a major contribution from the Victorian Government.

VicScreen is calling on communities to submit images of their film-friendly towns as the search for locations begins.

The original McLeod’s Daughters was filmed in South Australia, ran for eight seasons and 224 episodes, and was broadcast in over 100 countries.

Production will pump up to $35 million into the Victorian economy and create up to 900 jobs.

The production will help build the next generation of Victorian screen talent, with emerging and mid-career practitioners gaining placements, attachments and on-the-job experience.

Newly-released Deloitte Access Economics analysis shows Victoria’s screen sector contributed $3 billion to the economy and supported 21,100 full-time equivalent jobs in 2024-25.

Since 2018-19, the value of Victoria’s film, television and online production sector has grown 79 per cent in real terms, while games production has grown 103 per cent.

The announcement was made at Collingwood Children’s Farm in Melbourne.
