Hardball
Northern Pictures, 2021
Hardball is a fresh, fish-out-of-water comedy.
When Mikey moves from New Zealand to Western Sydney, he finds himself in the thick of the ultra-competitive, schoolyard game of handball.
After saving a kid on the playground from a wayward ball and finding he has the powerful strike in the world, Mikey is befriended by Jerry and Salwa, who join forces to train him to become a weapon of precision and skill - equipped to topple resident king of the court, Tiffany, and take home the Western Suburbs handball crown - if only he could make the ball land in the right suburb!
A series with lots of heart and humour, can Mikey go from zero to hero, in the quest to be the best in the west?
