Who The Hell Is Hamish? set for Paramount+

Paramount+ in Australia has wrapped filming on original drama, Who The Hell Is Hamish?.

The six-episode drama, which stars Dominic Cooper and Claire van der Boom, was filmed in Queensland and is set to premiere exclusively on Paramount+ globally later this year.

Adam Zwar (Austin) writes and Jeffrey Walker (The Artful Dodger) directs, with Hoodlum Entertainment and CBS Studios producing.

The show is inspired by an industrious fraudster and the group of victims who eventually decide they have had enough of him, leaving more than $70m worth of deception in his wake. Sales are being led by Paramount’s Global Content Distribution.
