The Australian Broadcasting Corporation announced this week that a new show featuring comedian Julia Zemiro was in train. It’s called Crime Night! and is described by one trade publication as a “comedic true crime hybrid panel show”. It might be the first time those nouns have appeared together in a sentence.
The public broadcaster isn’t alone in trying to come up with new formats as people migrate so much of their TV-watching to Netflix. But it was the production company of the new show which aroused some interest.
