The Kettering Incident is an Australian television sci-fi drama program, first broadcast on Foxtel's Showcase channel on 4 July 2016.[1]

The series was created by Victoria Madden and Vincent Sheehan, and was written by Victoria Madden, Louise Fox, Cate Shortland and Andrew Knight.[2] A sneak preview of the series launched at the 2015 Dark MoFo festival, with two episodes shown to select audiences at nine locations around Tasmania.[3]

The series was filmed in and around the town of Kettering and Bruny Island in Tasmania, as announced in February 2014 by the then Premier of Tasmania, Lara Giddings, during a press conference in Kettering.[4] The series was funded by Screen Australia, Screen Tasmania, Foxtel and BBC Worldwide, and was developed with the assistance of British broadcaster Channel 4.[5]

The series was budgeted at fifteen million dollars, and was promoted as the first adult drama filmed in Tasmania.[6] The series was directed by Rowan Woods and Tony Krawitz.[2] The executive producer is Penny Win.[7] A second series was in development in May 2017[8] but series creator Victoria Madden confirmed on Twitter in June 2018 that it was ultimately not picked up by Foxtel.[9]
