The Inbestigators Launches on Netflix

The Inbestigators, a new series from the Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF), has launched on Netflix in 31 languages across 189 countries.

The Inbestigators is a Netflix original series outside of Australia. Commissioned by ABC Australia and Netflix in 2018, the series is a unique take on the detective genre with viewers getting to unravel the mysteries alongside Maudie, Ezra, Kyle and Ava on their quest to solve schoolyard and neighborhood crimes.

Originally launched on the free-to-air channel ABC ME and iView in Australia in June, season one of the series has proven a ratings hit. Season two will be coming to both ABC and Netflix soon.

The Inbestigators marks the first Netflix original production for Melbourne production company Gristmill.

Distributed internationally by ACTF, The Inbestigators is available for acquisition now for screening beginning August 2021.

Libbie Doherty, head of children’s at ABC Television, said, “The Inbestigators launched to great excitement and quickly secured the number one crown for our Winter School Holiday ‘Best Fest’ on ABC ME. Fans immediately connected with the four junior detectives and loved the twists and turns of each episodic mystery. Australian creators Gristmill know exactly how to pitch the humor to our audience and have crafted a funny, clever and warm series that has already become a firm favorite.”
