Bower Bird
Dead popstar Nathan Blakely is reincarnated - as a bower bird. Stars Daniel Rigby, Ashley McGuire and Freya Parker. From 2022.
Nathan Blakely was a popstar. But he was useless, died, and was reincarnated.
The comedy about Nathan’s adventures in the afterlife continues.
Nathan is brought back to life as a bower bird on the Vogelkop Peninsula.
In order to woo the Hen (Sindhu Vee), Nathan must build the most beautiful bower. But it turns out he’s utterly uncreative.
Can Nathan learn to speak his truth? And will he ever learn to do the right thing and make it back to human again?
Written by Tom Craine & Henry Paker.
