Antonia Prebble: Kiwi Actress on her podcast, double parked, upcoming projects

The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Antonia Prebble has been busy.

The Kiwi actress has just recorded the second season of ‘Double Parked’, the second season of her award-winning podcast is releasing soon, and she also has three other TV shows currently in development.

Prebble's husband, Dan Musgrove, is a writer by trade, and she revealed that the three shows were a collaborative effort between the two of them.

One of the projects is a black comedy, another is a psychological thriller, and the third is a horror movie, Prebble revealed, and the latter two are genres she’s personally not a fan of.

“I don't like watching things like that because I find them too full on and violent,” she said.

“Whenever we work in it, I’m like, why are we doing this?”

The television and film industry is going through a bit of a rough patch, and while Prebble generally tries not to buy into the rhetoric about the state of the industry, she admits it isn’t looking great.

“It’s a lot harder to find those premium style shows,” she told Hosking.

“If you want to make something that costs around $8 million you, generally speaking, have to have international support.”

“It’s pretty hard to get.”

It’s also becoming more and more uncommon for shows to be renewed and picked up for multiple seasons, so the second season of ‘Double Parked’ came as good news.

“We were so thrilled.”
