Australia’s Nine Network and 9Now have launched Origin Story, a four-part doc series from Endemol Shine Australia about the intense rugby rivalry between New South Wales and Queensland.
The four-parter from Banijay Entertainment’s Endemol Shine Australia includes rare archive and firsthand reflections to tell the story of the impact of the “State of Origin” ruling on rugby in Australia.
Marty Benson, Endemol Shine Australia’s director of content, noted, “The team has poured an enormous amount of passion, care, and research into telling the story of State of Origin in a way that feels both cinematic and deeply authentic. Beyond the unforgettable moments on the field, this captures the emotion, identity, and fierce pride that have made this rivalry such an enduring part of Australian sport and culture.”
It premiered in Australia today.
