Set in a universal ‘neverwhere’ world that is a hybrid of east and west, ‘The New Legends of Monkey’ follows a teenage girl and a trio of fallen gods on a perilous journey as they attempt to bring an end to the demonic reign of chaos and restore balance to their world. A high concept reimagining of an ancient myth, this fantastical journey tells the story of young people on a mission. ‘The New Legends of Monkey’ is fuelled by martial arts fighting sequences and extra-ordinary magical powers whilst exploring the universal themes of identity, family and destiny.

Produced with Robin Scholes for Netflix, The ABC and TVNZ.

‘The New Legends of Monkey’ won 1 Creative Arts Emmy Award (and was nominated for a further 3 awards).
