Australian television icons Bryan Brown and Susie Porter have joined forces in a new heartwarming movie, The Travellers.
The charming new story is from none other than acclaimed filmmaker, Bruce Beresford.
When speaking to The Weekly at the red carpet premiere in Sydney, Susie revealed that while The Travellers has “dark themes, it’s actually really funny.”
With The Travellers coming to cinema soon, The Australian Women’s Weekly is divulging all you need to know about Bruce Beresford’s highly anticipated movie.
When does The Travellers premiere?
The touching Australian story, The Travellers will premiere to cinemas around the country on October 9, 2025.
However, the streaming platform that will house the film post-cinematic release remains unknown.
What is the plot for The Travellers?
The Travellers follows Stephen Seary (Luke Bracey), a successful stage designer returning to his small hometown in Australia as his mother’s health declines.
He bids a final farewell to his mother with his compassionate sister Nikki (Susie Porter) and his chaotic father Fred (Bryan Brown) by his side.
In what was supposed to be a quick trip, quickly turns dramatic as Stephen juggles family, past lovers and his career.
During the red carpet premiere in Sydney, Susie who portrays Nikki in the movie, revealed to The Weekly why The Travellers may hit close to home for some viewers.
“It’s a really relatable issue that people of a certain age, if they are lucky enough to have their parents, have to negotiate that last stage [of life] and the siblings go on [to] delegate what needs to be done,” she reflected.
“It can be a tricky time.”
Who is the cast of The Travellers?
As we previously mentioned, Susie Porter (Wentworth), Bryan Brown (Boy Swallows Universe) and Luke Bracey (Point Break) all join forces in the family-drama, The Travellers.
During the red carpet premiere, Bryan gushed over his co-star Susie.
“I love working with Susie. It’s just a delight. She’s got a great open quality, makes my job easy,” he confessed to The Weekly.
And Susie happened to share the sentiment.
“When they say Luke Bracey’s your brother, Bryan’s your dad and Bruce is the director, I’m not going to say no. I’d never, never say no to that opportunity,” she said.
“To work with Bryan is so iconic, I think this is just such a perfect role for Bryan.”
Perfect indeed because like Bryan’s character, Fred, he also thinks showering fully clothed to clean both himself and his clothes is genius!
Additional cast members include Nicholas Hammond, Celia Massingham, Alison McGirr, Oliver Wenn and Warren Lyons.
