Netflix\u2019s latest pickup from Australia has been revealed! Following a string of major announcements, Netflix has acquired the global rights (excluding Australia) to the live-action family comedy series Caper Crew.<\/p>\n
Produced by the acclaimed Australian studio Easy Tiger (the team behind Colin from Accounts and Scrublands) for the ABC, Caper Crew originally premiered in Australia back in April 2026. Now, thanks to a deal with the Australian Children\u2019s Television Foundation (ACTF) (via If<\/a>), the 10-part series is set to bring its unique brand of mischief to Netflix subscribers in over 190 territories worldwide.<\/p>\n The acquisition marks the second major Australian broadcast pickup for Netflix in just the last few months. As we just covered, Netflix also snagged the global streaming rights to the highly anticipated SBS drama The Airport Chaplain starring Hugo Weaving<\/a>, which lands on the platform on August 26th. Also on the ABC side, Netflix has picked up multiple seasons of the hit comedy series Fisk<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Caper Crew before it lands on Netflix:\u00a0<\/p>\n What is the plot of\u00a0Caper Crew?<\/p>\n Described as a stylish and fast-paced family adventure, Caper Crew draws inspiration from the true stories of the 1960s \u201cKangaroo Gang\u201d\u2014a notorious group of real-life Australian jewelry thieves who executed heists across Europe.
