The official trailer for the highly anticipated four-part miniseries MIX TAPE has been released.
Premiering on BINGE on Thursday 12 June 2025, with episodes dropping weekly, the original series blends youthful romance, musical nostalgia, and cross-continental longing into a dual-timeline narrative that has already captured attention on the global stage.
MIX TAPE made its international debut at this year’s SXSW Festival in Austin, where it won the TV Spotlight Audience Award.
Adapted from Jane Sanderson’s acclaimed novel of the same name and starring Australian actress Teresa Palmer (The Clearing, The Fall Guy) and British actor Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe, Cloud Atlas), MIX TAPE follows Alison and Daniel, once young lovers in 1989 Sheffield, UK, now separated by time, geography, and life.
When a song from their past resurfaces, they begin to unravel whether the life they lived, and the love they lost, could have gone another way.
The younger versions of Alison and Daniel are portrayed by Bridgerton’s Florence Hunt and rising talent Rory Walton-Smith, adding emotional depth to the time-hopping storyline.
The ensemble cast brings together a high-calibre blend of international and Australian talent including Sara Soulié, Ben Lawson, Julia Savage, Conor Sánchez, Mark O’Halloran, Helen Behan, Jonathan Harden, Siobhan O’Kelly, Jacqueline McKenzie, and Chika Ikogwe.
Global story with local investment
Produced by Aquarius Films and Subotica, MIX TAPE is the first Australian-Irish co-production for the Foxtel Group and a showcase of international collaboration.
“This award-winning series with its acclaimed international cast, rich sense of nostalgia and incredible soundtrack will draw viewers into a world they won’t want to leave,” said Lana Greenhalgh, Foxtel Group’s Head of Scripted Originals. “MIX TAPE will transport viewers back in time to that intoxicating feeling of first love.”
Producers Angie Fielder and Polly Staniford (Aquarius Films) and Aoife O’Sullivan and Tristan Orpen Lynch (Subotica) noted the project’s resonance with SXSW audiences, saying: “With stunning performances and songs from some of the greatest bands of all time, the series is a heady combination of the best things in life – love and music.”
The series was commissioned by Foxtel Group and financed with support from Screen Australia, Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland, the Finnish Impact Film Fund, Screen NSW’s Made in NSW Fund, and The Post Lounge. Boat Rocker will handle international distribution.
