The Wizards of Aus premieres January 19 on Australia’s SBS. This six-part comedy series from LateNight Films sounds like a cross between My Favorite Martian, Game of Thrones, and several Peter Jackson movies…

Fed up with the Magical Realm’s obsession with large-scale fantasy warfare, Jack the Wizard decides to migrate to the sanest place he can think of: Melbourne’s Western suburbs. After accidentally causing Flinders Street Station to turn ever so slightly into a giant Fish monster, his existence (and that of his fellow magical immigrants) is revealed to the Australian public. Fearing a backlash against himself and his kind, Jack swears off using magic in a bid to better assimilate into human life. But of course, fitting in was never going to be easy when people tend to get a bit ‘explode-y’ whenever you sneeze…

Lots more amusing details about making the series in the director’s statement.
