Young Adult/Mystery English TV Series 1 Season

ON THE JELLICOE ROAD

An adaptation of Melina Marchetta’s bestselling young adult novel On the Jellicoe Road.

The story centers on 17-year-old Taylor Markham, leader of an underground community at a boarding school. Abandoned by her mother when she was 11, and with little recollection of her father, Taylor has only her mentor and guardian Hannah as an adult influence in her life, who suddenly vanishes. There is also a territory war going on between the boarders, the kids from the local town, and a group of cadets training locally.

The multi-Emmy® nominated Joanna Werner, known for producing hit Australian TV series, is producing.
