Presto commisions two new Home and Away special events

Home and Away.

Presto has commissioned Seven Productions to produce two more Home and Away special events which will be streamed later this year.

The two new specials will feature current and returning cast members with scripts currently in development. 

Seven Productions will produce the special events exclusively for Presto with production due to commence in coming months and the world premiere slated for late 2016.

The announcement follows Presto’s Home and Away: An Eye for an Eye which began streaming in December. 

Presto chief executive, Shaun James, said the new commissions continued Presto's ongoing commitment to providing Australian streamers with exclusive premium local content. 

"In its first 24 hours, Home and Away: An Eye for an Eye broke through all day one streaming records on Presto, both complementing and extending Australia’s most-loved TV drama," he said.

“We are excited to once again partner with Seven Productions to provide Presto customers with more must-see Home and Away content.

"As Australia’s most iconic drama, we’re privileged that we have permission to put beloved characters at the centre of TV’s new revolution and we look forward to the world premiere of these special events later this year.” 

Seven head of drama, Julie McGauran, said she was thrilled to head back into production to further develop multiple special event instalments of Home and Away for Presto. 

Casting and plot information for each special will be announced soon.
