“Pacific Heat” Coming Stateside! **Updated with Australia Premiere Date

Feel it, yet?

We first heard about this series nearly two fucking years ago, and now not only do we find out that it’s premiering in a couple of months on Netflix, we now know that the series is coming Stateside. Pacific Heat was looking like an Australian exclusive for FoxTel, but now Netflix has ordered 13 episodes set to stream on December 2nd.

December 2nd will see Pacific Heat stream for Netflix in the U.S., Canada, Ireland, and the UK, with FoxTel getting the series late 2016. According to Variety:

“Pacific Heat” follows the exploits of a dynamic unit of undercover police investigators working on the glitzy Gold Coast of Australia. The glamorous, sophisticated and sun-drenched paradise masks a hot-bed of crime — everyone from drug smugglers and biker gangs to eco-terrorists and the person who invented frozen yogurt — and in order to tackle this seedy underbelly, police established a covert squad of highly-trained operatives, known as Pacific Heat. When criminals strike, the squad will be there in an unconventional and uncompromising manner, and not afraid to operate outside the law — provided at least one of them is wearing a fluorescent safety vest.

Working Dog Productions is producing the series with creators  Santo Cilauro, Tom Gleisner and Rob Sitch with the latter providing the voice of Special Agent Todd Sommerville.

Pacific Heat will air November 27 at 8.00pm on The Comedy Channel in Australia.
