Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Loosely inspired by Australia's real-life 'The Family' cult led by Anne Hamilton-Byrne, who bleached children's hair and drugged them with LSD.

Insight

The show deliberately mirrors Palmer's own motherhood experiences during filming, adding unsettling authenticity to Freya's panic.
