After the Verdict Coming to 9Network

To catch a killer, four everyday people go beyond the call of jury duty in the 9Network’s gripping new drama series After The Verdict, with major production investment from Screen Australia. The series stars Sullivan Stapleton (Animal Kingdom, Strike Back, Blindspot), Magda Szubanski (Kath & Kim, Babe, Happy Feet) and Lincoln Younes (Doctor Doctor, Grand Hotel, Tangle).
After The Verdict tells the story of four very different Australians who have just finished jury duty on a high-profile murder trial. As they return to normal life, they begin to question their verdict and take matters into their own hands, investigating the murder themselves as they juggle the pressures and impacts on their personal lives.
