Super City
Super City is a comedy series starring Madeleine Sami as multiple characters living in one city. Two seasons were produced for TV3 in New Zealand. Watch season one here.
In season one, Taika Waititi directs Sami as she hilariously transforms into five very different characters all living in our country’s super city. There’s Pasha, an aging cheerleader clinging to her partying lifestyle; Azeem, an immigrant taxi driver embracing Maori culture; Jo, a closeted gym instructor in love with her best friend; Linda, the runt of her “old girls” clique fostering impoverished artists and Georgie, a homeless girl whose freedom is unexpectedly interrupted.
Season one screened in NZ on TV3 from Feb 2011. It launched with a 25.8% share on 18-49 year old viewers. Super City is funded by New Zealand On Air.
Super City was piloted by ABC Studios for US audiences. More information on Deadline.
