Patrick Brammall is poised to take the helm of an enthralling series adaptation of Ryan David Jahn's novel, "The Dispatcher," set to premiere on Apple TV+. Apple has commissioned a captivating six-episode arc, with the series unfolding in the heart of Australia.
The official synopsis of the series paints a compelling picture: "Ten years ago, Police Detective Ian Hunt's (Brammall) life was shattered when his beloved daughter Maggie vanished without a trace. Now relegated to the role of a police dispatcher, Ian's sole solace is his unwavering refusal to believe that Maggie is lost forever. But when a distress call comes in, and he recognizes the voice as Maggie's, Ian's resolve knows no bounds. He will embark on a relentless quest to reunite his fractured family, regardless of the consequences."
Renowned writer and executive producer Kris Mrksa helms the series, joined by the executive producing prowess of Jamie Laurenson and Hakan Kousetta from 60Forty Films, along with Joanna Werner from Werner Film Productions.
Brammall, perhaps most renowned for his stellar work in the Australian series "Colin From Accounts," co-created and starred in the show alongside his wife, Harriet Dyer. The show garnered widespread critical praise upon its 2022 release, with the second season premiering in Australia in 2024. Currently streaming on Paramount+ in the U.S., the show has recently garnered two prestigious Gotham Awards, including the breakthrough comedy series and outstanding performance in a comedy series for Dyer.
Brammall's illustrious credits also include "A Moody Christmas," "Glitch," and "Evil," and he lends his voice to the beloved character of Uncle Rad in the smash-hit kids' show "Bluey." Represented by Atlas Artists, UTA, Sloane Offer, and RGM Artists in Australia, Brammall continues to captivate audiences with his versatile talents.
