to be shot in Australia’s Gold Coast
BLONDIES is a serialized, half-hour comedy about four sassy seniors living it up in the sun-drenched pensioner playground - the GOLD COAST, Australia.
Instead of succumbing to retirement homes, poker machines, and lawn bowls, these septuagenarians refuse to act their age - joy riding in golf carts, hosting Viagra-fueled sex parties, and being last on the dance floor.
Created and Directed by ANNA DOKOZA. Anna Dokoza is an Australian/American/Croatian (television) director and producer. Born in Sydney, Dokoza started her career in the news world (Associated Press TV, ABC News, 60 Minutes Australia) before transitioning into the unscripted world and directing MTV’s ADVENTURES IN HOLLYHOOD and VIVA LA BAM, and Bravo’s PROJECT RUNWAY among other series.
Created and Written by Joe Murphy. After years of working in short films and theatre in Australia, Joe Murphy moved the US in 2012 to become a writer. He worked on several American series including Nurse Jackie, The Carrie Diaries, The Leftovers and more. He found his niche in half hour comedies, eventually working alongside Darren Star on two projects - Younger and Emily in Paris.

Princess Pictures is a company that respectfully asks for one thing: The privilege of your attention. We embrace this responsibility by encouraging radical imagination and championing stories that expand the way audiences see the world. Since our founding in 2003 by Laura Waters, producer of all six of Chris Lilley’s acclaimed series for ABC, BBC, HBO, and Netflix, we’ve remained proudly genre-agnostic. From scripted and unscripted comedy to premium drama, feature films, podcasts, and groundbreaking animation for both kids and adults, we follow the story first wherever it leads.
Today, alongside Managing Director Emma Fitzsimons, we’ve built a multi-purpose production hub driven by a team of smart, ambitious, and curious minds working across both live-action and animation. Our slate includes collaborations with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Disney+, ABC, Adult Swim, Audible, YouTube, TikTok, and more.
At its core, Princess exists to bridge bold storytellers and boundary-breaking ideas with the platforms that amplify them and to craft stories that leave a lasting imprint.
