Out There is a drama television series produced by Sesame Workshop and Noggin LLC for the Noggin channel.[4] It aired as part of Noggin's nighttime programming block, The N. When the show started development, Sesame Workshop co-owned Noggin, and Out There was launched as a tween-oriented project for the network. The show was written, produced, and commissioned in New York, and it originated as an entirely American series with a storyline set in New York.[5] During development, it became an American-Australian co-production (then titled Two Down Under), and filming took place mostly in Australia.
The show's plot mirrors its co-development between the United States and Australia. It follows the trials and tribulations of an American high school boy named Reilly (Douglas Smith), who moves to Australia from Connecticut as his father flees the authorities. He stays with his aunt and uncle, who are the owners of a nature reserve and veterinary clinic. Reilly befriends his co-worker Aggie (Jade Ewen), a local boy named Miller (Richard Wilson), and the girl next door, Fiona (Molly McCaffrey).
The series premiered on Noggin on May 23, 2003, as the inaugural show of a scheduling event called "Summer in The N."[3] The first four episodes were shown as a two-hour series premiere,[3] and the remainder of the first season aired on Fridays at 9 p.m. in June and July 2003.[6] The show ran for two seasons and 26 episodes in total. It aired its final new episode on July 1, 2004, with reruns continuing throughout the year.
