Thomasin McKenzie leads a new, darkly comedic series from Stan about grief and friendship.
Inspired by true events, Stan Original Series Totally Completely Fine is a six-part dark comedy following 20-something Vivian Cunningham, played by Kiwi talent McKenzie (JoJo Rabbit, Last Night in Soho).
Vivian's life is... well, a bit of a mess. Last week she accidentally burnt down her brother's vegan food truck with a bacon-flavoured vape and this week she's inherited her grandfather's coastal clifftop house, and is tasked with helping people who come too close to the edge.
They seem to respond to her chaotic, nihilistic brand of psychology - so, maybe, just maybe, in saving these people, she'll slowly start to save herself?
The series explores the complexities of grief, the power of friendship, and the ways our sadness can unite us. It examines family, legacy and ultimately asks: how many lives do we have to save before we'll save ourselves?
Totally Completely Fine is created and executive produced by Gretel Vella (The Great) and is currently filming in Sydney.
Vella describes it as her "heart project".
"A response to the mental health crisis, Totally Completely Fine was written for myself and so many other people in my life. To let them know they aren't alone, that mess is ok, and sometimes the pain and anxieties we try to hide can be our greatest superpowers," she says.
"I am so excited for the world to meet our unlikely hero Vivian, and the rest of the Cunningham family. Sometimes neurotic, frequently chaotic, but hey, always bloody entertaining."
Alongside McKenzie, Totally Completely Fine stars Devon Terrell (Rap Sh!t, Cursed), Brandon McClelland (ANZAC Girls, Stan Original Series The Other Guy), Rowan Witt (Book of Mormon - Original Australian Cast, Spreadsheet), Contessa Treffone (Doctor Doctor, Here Out West), James Sweeny (Total Control, Home and Away), Max Crean (Mystic) and Brigid Zengeni (The Good Liar, MotherFatherSon).
Totally Completely Fine is a co-production between Sundance Now and Stan, and produced by Fremantle Australia.
The Stan Original Series Totally Completely Fine is now in production.
