Will Forte and D’Arcy Carden star in Stan Original Sunny Nights this Boxing Day
Stan has dropped a first look at its new original series Sunny Nights, a comedic crime drama starring Will Forte and D’Arcy Carden, premiering Boxing Day.
Stan has released an exclusive first look at the upcoming Stan Original series Sunny Nights, starring Will Forte (The Last Man on Earth, Bodkin, Saturday Night Live) and D’Arcy Carden (Nobody Wants This, The Good Place, Barry), ahead of its Boxing Day premiere.
Directed and executive produced by Trent O’Donnell (Stan Original Population 11, No Activity, Hacks, Colin from Accounts), the eight-part comedic crime drama follows American siblings Martin Marvin (Forte) and Vicki Marvin (Carden) as they attempt to build a spray tan business in Sydney — and inadvertently find themselves entangled in the city’s criminal underworld.
The sneak peek scene released today shows the pair in urgent need of a loan, hinting that their entrepreneurial dreams are about to collide with trouble. The series sees straight-laced Martin team up with his loose cannon sister Vicki to transform their van-based start-up into a multi-million-dollar empire while staying one step ahead of a ruthless gangster.
Sunny Nights also stars Rachel House (Thor: Ragnarok, Heartbreak High), Jessica De Gouw (The Couple Next Door, The Artful Dodger), Miritana Hughes (Wakefield, Preacher), Ra Chapman (Wentworth), Megan Wilding (Gold Diggers), George Mason (Stan Original Exposure, Black Snow), Matuse (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga), and former NRL player Willie Mason in his acting debut, alongside a special appearance from Patrick Brammall (Colin from Accounts, No Activity).
The series is produced by Bridget Callow and created by Nick Keetch (Almost Paradise) and Ty Freer (High Fire, Almost Paradise), with additional writing from Marieke Hardy, Lally Katz, Clare Sladden and Niki Aken.
Sunny Nights is a Stan Original from Jungle Entertainment (No Activity, Population 11) and Echo Lake Entertainment (The Great) in association with Cineflix Rights (Last King of The Cross, Tehran), with major production investment from Stan and Screen Australia and financing support from Screen NSW through the Made in NSW Fund. Stan’s executive producers are Cailah Scobie and Amanda Duthie.
