Filming for season three of television series Under the Vines has started in the region.
AMC Networks streamer Acorn TV teamed with TVNZ to commission the series.
The show stars Rebecca Gibney (Wanted and Packed to the Rafters) and Charles Edwards (The Crown and Downton Abbey) as two city slickers, Sydney socialite Daisy Monroe and London lawyer Louis Oakley, who inherit a failing vineyard in rural New Zealand.
Neither character has experience in running a winery, and they start out with a strong dislike for each other, which fades during the course of the first two seasons.
Love, heartbreak and drama ensue on the vineyard and the season three return will see the pair desperate to regain their former standing as the ‘‘sole’’ mutual heirs of Oakley Wines, after a shock claim rocked their world.
Louis has been coping with his heartbreak with a potential new love, while Daisy is busy trying to plan a perfect wedding to the perfect fiance — but it soon becomes clear he may be a groomzilla.
The wedding is set to be the event of the year, but it wouldn’t be Under the Vines if everything went to plan.
Filming is scheduled to wrap up in December, with the show set to air in New Zealand later next year.
