Nine has announced a reboot of the series McLeod's Daughters, which is set to premiere on Stan in 2027. The production is currently underway, revisiting the world of the original show that concluded its eight-season run in 2009.
Why it matters
The reboot aims to introduce a new generation of characters while leveraging the enduring popularity of the original series. Its production is centered around the original filming site, which has evolved from a rural setting into an exclusive retreat.
The Kingsford The Barossa estate spans 16 luxury suites and currently features a restaurant, having sold for $22.38 million in 2024. The property, located near Freeling, was added to the MICHELIN Guide hotel selection in October 2026.
