Coming very soon to SBS and SBS On Demand, SWIFT STREET is a fast, dynamic, and cinematic crime-family drama created by Tig Terera and produced by Lois Randall’s Magpie Pictures, starring Tanzyn Crawford (Tiny Beautiful Things) and Cliff Curtis (Avatar) as daughter and father partners in crime.

“CANNESERIES celebrates series from all over the world in the city of Cannes and its magical Palais des Festivals. This festival is creative, cool and joyful. It’s perfectly aligned with the energy and heart of SWIFT STREET, and with everything we think audiences will love about the series,” said producers Lois Randall and Ivy Mak.

Creator Tig Terera is excited about this prestigious world premiere for his first television series. “From the modest roots of Melbourne's northern suburbs, premiering SWIFT STREET at CANNESERIES is a dream come true.  A heartfelt WOOHOO and endless thanks to everyone involved. Together we've turned a dream into a reality,” Tig said.
