Territory cast: Who stars in the Netflix cattle ranch drama?
Mindhunter's Anna Torv is joined by an array of Australian talent.
Six-part Australian epic Territory revolves around Marianne Station, the biggest cattle operation in the world, which is run by the Lawson family.
Following the death of Daniel Lawson, the son of imposing patriarch Colin, the station is in need of a new heir, but with no clear successor, "generational clashes threaten to tear the Lawson family apart".
"Sensing this once great dynasty is in decline, the outback's most powerful factions – rival cattle barons, desert gangsters, Indigenous elders and billionaire miners – move in for the kill," continuous the official synopsis.
The cast of Territory includes a number of recognisable faces, plus some you might not be familiar with.
