Production

The series was first announced by Seven at their annual upfronts in October 2017 and was originally meant to air sometime in 2018,[2][3] however due to pending legal cases of some of the characters being depicted, the series was delayed until the cases had closed. After two years without any information regarding the series, on 21 October 2020, Seven announced at their annual upfronts that the series will finally air sometime in 2021.[4]

Synopsis

Drug dealer, gangster, gym-junky, Lamborghini driver, husband, father, dickhead. Australian Gangster is a four hour TV series about the life and death of a new breed of Sydney criminal. The kind that doesn't care about playing it safe or keeping a low profile or even getting caught. Our main character is emblematic of the type of modern gangster that only really cares about looking good on Instagram, making a name for himself in a new, wannabe glamorous crime scene, while at the same time trying to manage the pressures of family life.[5]
