Our Story
Established in 2010, NP has produced some of Australia’s most awarded and recognised documentary content and children’s programming for the global market. Our slate includes blue chip natural history, social issues series, comedy and factual entertainment, theatrical documentaries, children's factual and scripted drama.
Its factual division delivers large-scale factual television and feature documentaries with a focus on wildlife and social issues. It is known for innovation, priding itself on documentary series underpinned by journalistic values, unique access and cinematic sensibilities. Our critically-acclaimed and award-winning productions include Kakadu (ABC), Changing Minds (ABC), Life on the Reef (ABC, PBS, Arte), Outback (PBS, Network Nine), Employable Me (ABC), Whiteley and Blue (Transmission Films), and Magical Land of Oz (ABC, BBC, PBS).
In late 2015, Northern Pictures expanded to create Northern Pictures Kids. With more than 210 hours produced, Northern Pictures Kids is rapidly gaining a reputation for its entertaining, nature inspired content that excites and engages young audiences in the preschool and kids space, and is now expanding into scripted content with a focus on comedy and adventure.
Northern Pictures was acquired by Blue Ant Media in 2017.
