Port Washington, NY – This Christmas, enthusiastic fans will delight in spending another hot summer in Australia with the U.S. DVD debut of McLEOD’S DAUGHERS: THE COMPLETE SEVENTH SEASON. "McLeod’s Daughters" became an overnight sensation when it premiered on U.S. television several years ago on the WE: Women’s Entertainment channel -- and its popularity continues to this day. The series -- one of Australia’s most watched, and now in the midst of its eight and final season -- has captivated millions of viewers worldwide with its addictive storylines and heroic portrayals of empowered women. No longer a fixture on U.S. television, avid watchers eagerly await full season DVD releases from KOCH Vision. On December 9, Season Seven -- never before seen in the U.S. – will finally be unveiled on DVD as an 8-DVD set for $79.98SRP.
Shot entirely on location Down Under, McLeod’s Daughters follows the adventures of a largely-female workforce at a large family-owned Australian cattle ranch. In Season Seven, only Jodi Fountain-McLeod is left to run the ranch after the departure of Tess McLeod in Season Six. As the series has continued through the years, new characters and new adventures keep the show as fresh and exciting as ever. Created by Posie Graeme-Evans, McLeod’s Daughters stars Simmone Mackinnon, Luke Jacobz, Abi Tucker, Doris Younane, Matthew Passmore, Dustin Clare, Gillian Alexy, Aaron Jeffery, and Michala Banas.
Praising the series for taking its time to “let sexual tensions build and simmer,” The New York Times described the show as “Dallas down under, Bonanza with better hair or The Thorn Birds with the sheep but not the priest.” Entertainment Weekly recommended it as “what to watch” and, in reference to the popularity of Australian actors Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman, called it “Aussie Invasion, Round 2.” The Hollywood Reporter praised McLeod’s Daughters as “beautifully filmed, stylishly produced and believably conceived…a quality chick show that the dudes will be drawn to as well.” The New York Post said “the show isn’t like anything else on TV. And really, how refreshing to have women’s programming that actually makes female characters smart, savvy, self-sufficient survivors, instead of Desperate Housewives.”
