Winter Warmer Watchlist - Mix Tape - Miniseries

Binge's MIX TAPE stars Australian actress Teresa Palmer (The Clearing, The Fall Guy) as Alison and British actor Jim Sturgess (Across The Universe, Cloud Atlas) as Daniel. British actress Florence Hunt (Bridgerton, Cursed) and newcomer Rory Walton-Smith play the younger versions of Alison and Daniel.

This is the latest Aussie miniseries to stream on the now UK owned streamer, Binge.

Moving between their teenage romance in Sheffield, England in 1989 and the modern-day reality of their adult relationships, MIX TAPE follows Daniel (Sturgess) and Alison (Palmer), now living on opposite sides of the world, as they reconnect through a song from their shared past and explore their burning curiosity to understand if this is the love, and life, they were meant to have.

As it's an Aussie/Irish film, the ensemble cast also boasts a stellar lineup of international and Australian talent, including Sara Soulié (Conflict, The Man Who Died), Ben Lawson (Bombshell, Designated Survivor), Julia Savage (The Clearing, Blaze), Conor Sánchez (Hope Street, Ellis), Mark O’Halloran (Mary & George, The Virtues), Helen Behan (Malpractice, The Virtues), Jonathan Harden (Time, Blue Lights), and Siobhan O’Kelly (The Tourist, The Hardacres), Jacqueline McKenzie (Force of Nature: The Dry 2, Savage River) and Chika Ikogwe (Heartbreak High, Land of the Bad).

With the use of music, Mix Tape is adapted from a novel of the same name by Jane Sanderson and has a couple who fell in love in the late 1980s reconnect decades later whilst on opposite sides of the world.

The project was announced in August 2023, as a collaboration between Screen Australia, Screen Ireland and Binge.

The four-part series has been a fairly delightful watch over the past few Thursdays.

Mix Tape is produced by Australia's Foxtel Group and Aquarius Films, and the Irish company Subotica, with filming taking place in Sydney in May 2024 & Dublin and County Wicklow in Ireland in June and July last year.

Binge has served us some delightful Aussie content lately. Strife's second season was wonderful and I need to finish the Last Anniversary.

The Twelve is also hopefully due to return really soon.

For now, that concludes the first Aussie series for Winter Warmer Watchlist series.
