Production

Conception

Fat Tony & Co.' acts as a direct prequel to the first series of Underbelly, however due to changes in funding with Screen Australia it won't be branded as an Underbelly series.

After a rumour in November 2012, Fat Tony & Co. was officially announced on 3 August 2013. Production for the series began on 5 August 2013.

Fat Tony & Co.' was directed by Peter Andrikidis, Andrew Prowse and Karl Zwicky, with Jo Rooney, Andy Ryan, Peter Gawler and Elisa Argenzio Lambert serving as producers.

While most of Fat Tony & Co. was shot in Melbourne, some sequences were filmed in Athens, Greece.

The Media Launch for the series was held at Melbourne's Crown Complex on Thursday January 23rd 2014.

Most of the cast from the first series of Underbelly return to play the same characters, although some were unavailable to reprise their signature roles such as Kat Stewart who played Roberta Williams, replaced by Hollie Andrew; Caroline Gillmer who played Judy Moran, replaced by Debra Byrne, and Callan Mulvey who played Mark Moran, replaced by Jake Ryan.
