The trailer has dropped for a gripping new Australian drama that will explore the contentious topic of voluntary dying.
Foxtel’s 10-part series The End will premiere on February 2, and stars Dame Harriet Walter (Succession, The Crown) as Edie Henley – who feels strongly about her right to die.
The Missing star Frances O’Connor plays Edie’s daughter Dr. Kate Brennan, who is regularly confronted with the topic of voluntary euthanasia in her line of work and is opposed to it.
Queensland-based Kate then ships Edie from her home in England and forces her into a local retirement village to keep an eye on her.
Amid fighting a sensitive battle with her mother, Kate’s dealing with her own struggles with an ex in jail, and her children, one of whom is a teenage trans boy, navigating their respective paths.
“Foxtel is committed to telling Australian stories for Australian audiences and we are very proud of The End, a series which is bound to spark a national conversation,” Foxtel Executive Director of Television Brian Walsh said.
“At times confronting and yes, controversial, it is a series which is incredibly moving and emotional, but above all, entertaining. I think audiences will relate to every character and we can’t wait for it to debut in February.”
Mr Walsh added: “The End is a multi-generational family series which deals with life and death and everything in between.”

The show also stars Brooke Satchwell, Luke Arnold and John Waters.
A co-production between Foxtel and Sky UK, the series – which was filmed on the Gold Coast – was created and written by Samantha Strauss and is directed by Jessica M. Thompson and Jonathan Brough.
In Australia, voluntary assisted dying is legal in Victoria in limited circumstances.
Laws have also been passed in Western Australia and will commence on July 1.
It is not lawful in any other Australian states or territories but the option to die is a major discussion point with several states introducing Bills into Parliaments recently.
