Danger 5 is an upcoming Australian action comedy television series created by Dario Russo and David Ashby. The show, which premieres on SBS in February 2012 [1], is set in a bizarre, pulp magazine inspired, 1960's interpretation of World War II[2]. It follows a group of five international spies on a mission to kill Adolf Hitler, and thwart his plans of world domination.
A prologue web series entitled Danger 5: The Diamond Girls was released weekly on YouTube throughout November and December 2011, in lead up to the Australian broadcast. [3]
Project history
Development
After the success of the web series Italian Spiderman created by Alrugo Entertainment (Russo, Ashby, Tait Wilson, Will Spartalis and Boris Repasky), Australian broadcaster SBS became interested in turning the project into a television show. Due to internal issues within the production team, the project fell through. Nonetheless, SBS were still interested in Russo and Ashby, and they were offered a development deal for a new show, eventuating in Danger 5. [4]
