The Heights

ABC welcomes you home to Arcadia Heights this February

'Slice of life' drama series The Heights starts on ABC on 22 February, 830pm AEDT or binge the entire series on ABC iview

ABC's The Heights will transport viewers into the inner-city neighbourhood of Arcadia Heights next month when it launches on ABC on Friday, 22 February at 8.30pm (AEDT). Because just one episode will leave audiences wanting for more, viewers can enjoy double episodes every Friday or binge as many episodes as they like, with all 30 episodes available on ABC iview following the launch broadcast.

From the producers of The Slap and Barracuda, The Heights is a charming and entertaining serial drama exploring the relationships between the residents of the Arcadia social housing tower and the people who live in the rapidly gentrifying community that surrounds it. It's a program that the whole family can enjoy together and one that will make audiences laugh, think and emotionally engage with.

Shari Sebbens (The Sapphires, Thor: Ragnarok), Marcus Graham (Secret City, Cleverman), and Roz Hammond (Shaun Micallef's Mad As Hell) are just a few of The Heights' impressive ensemble cast. Amongst these well-known faces are exciting emerging talents, including Phoenix Raei (Romper Stomper, Mustangs FC), Yazeed Daher (Safe Harbour), Bridie McKim, Callen Tassone (Red Dog) and Carina Hoang.

The Heights is a series driven by inclusivity both on and off screen and tackles a wide range of social issues faced by everyday Australians of all ages, from all walks of life, reflecting the melting pot of modern urban Australia.

Shot in Western Australia, The Heights provided a huge boost to the local television industry, employing nearly 100 local crew and casting 93 speaking and extras roles, including several first-time actors, writers and directors.

The Heights is produced by Matchbox Pictures and For Pete's Sake Productions for ABC and developed and produced with the assistance of ABC in association with Screenwest, Lotterywest and NBCUniversal. International sales will be handled by NBCUniversal Distribution
