Sarah-Kate Lynch and Morgana O’Reilly: Friends Like Her creator and lead actress on the new psychological thriller series - The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin

Three's new local psychological thriller series is set to follow two best friends- and a surrogacy pact that falls through.

Set in a post-quake Kaikōura, the series explores the town's recovery following the disaster, as the friendship between the leads turns toxic.

Series creator Sarah-Kate Lynch and lead actress Morgana O’Reilly say the earthquake provided a solid backdrop for the series, as it impacted people differently.

"For some people, the earthquake wasn't the end of anything, it was the beginning of things. If you were working on the roads, for example, your business might have done better. But if you had a little motel, you might have done worse."
