Beloved Australian stars have returned home for epic limited series, Apple Cider Vinegar which follows a twisted lie and the role social media played.
The series follows two young women, Belle and Milla, who are determined to cure their life-threatening illnesses through heath and wellness. In the new age of social media, the girls share their journey to Instagram and influence a global community along the way.

Belle Gibson sold a lie to the entire world when she claimed her special diet “cured” her from cancer. The wellness influence ultimately turned into a social pariah when the truth was revealed.
Apple Cider Vinegar cast includes Alycia Debnam-Carey (The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart and Fear the Walking Dead); Aishe Dee (The Bold Type); Kaitlyn Dever (Dopesick); TV WEEK Gold Logie nominee Mark Coles Smith (Mystery Road: Origin); Ashley Zukerman (Succession); and Tilda Cobham-Hervey (The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart).
The limited series is directed by Jeffery Walker, known for his work on Teresa Palmer’s The Clearing, Disney Plus The Artful Dodger and Modern Family.
Mark was nominated for a TV WEEK Gold Logie in 2023.

“Samantha Strauss has created a series that is searing in its comment but entertaining at its very core. It’s complex, it’s got bounce and it’s got bite, and we love it,” Executive Producers Liz Watts and Louise Gough said.
“We have a brilliant creative team under the fine leadership of director Jeffrey Walker and one of the best cast ensembles in an Australian production. This is a Melbourne story with a global reach.”
