The Survivors bring out a buried old case within the community when a fresh, mysterious murder happens in the locality. The show has only Ayres and Jane Harper as the executive producers.

“I often describe the show as a Trojan horse,” showrunner Tony Ayres says. “It’s a family melodrama disguised as a murder mystery. Because the things that are really at its heart are things like a son wanting his mother’s love and the mother who just cannot afford to give it because her whole world might fall apart.”

While its filming locations majorly include Hobart, Tasmania, with the largest production filmed within the state. While the Post-production occurred in Melbourne, Victoria.
