Small Town Scandal completes production
BBC Studios confirmed further cast of its upcoming eight-part Sky New Zealand Originals comedy series Small Town Scandal. Set to premiere in 2026, Small Town Scandal follows Toby (Sainsbury), a disgraced journalist turned podcast host, who returns to his rural hometown to investigate the bizarre death of his millionaire uncle – killed, suspiciously, by an automatic lawnmower. Joining Sainsbury is beloved British screen legend Felicity Kendal (The Good Life, Rosemary and Thyme), and acclaimed Kiwi comedian Rose Matafeo (Starstruck). Previously announced cast includes Emmy award-winning actress Morgana O’Reilly (The White Lotus, Playing Gracie Darling), and Alexander England (Offspring, How to Please a Woman), a five-time Logie Award nominee.
