Rebecca Gibney's Under the Vines is finally getting its time in the sun.
A year after filming her new series Under the Vines, Rebecca Gibney can't wait for New Zealanders to see it this Wednesday on TVNZ 1.
The series promises to show off Central Otago at its best with the romantic tension of Gibney's character Daisy Munroe, a Sydney socialite, who has
fallen on hard times and is left a failing New Zealand vineyard shared with another surprised co-owner, grumpy UK-born lawyer, Louis Oakley, her co-star Charles Edwards, of The Crown and Downton Abbey fame.
Alongside Gibney and Edwards, the series stars a raft of Kiwi talent, including Simon Mead, Dean O'Gorman, Sara Wiseman and Robbie Magasiva.
"It was such a gift being able to film Under the Vines in New Zealand, especially given I've been a South Islander now for about five years. Bring on the cheese rolls," Gibney tells Spy.
"To work with such incredible talent in front of and behind the camera, many of whom I have worked with before, made it feel more like a holiday than a job. I mean, honestly, who wouldn't want to film in Central Otago in a vineyard with a bunch of funny, glorious, kind, talented Kiwis?"
