The Australian Netflix limited series Apple Cider Vinegar, produced by See-Saw Films and Picking Scabs’, continues to expand its global reach, ranking #3 in the Top 10 English TV shows worldwide with 5.6 million views last week.
The series has also secured the #1 spot in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Lithuania, and Latvia.
Described as a “true-ish story based on a lie” – the series continues to generate global conversation across social media and news outlets.
The 2017 book that inspired the fictional series, The Woman Who Fooled the World by Beau Donelly and Nick Toscano, has also seen a surge in sales. Since the show’s Netflix premiere, the book has topped bestseller lists, ranking #1 in Paid Non-Fiction on Apple, #1 in Audible Audiobooks on Amazon, and #2 in Kindle True Crime.
Filmed in Melbourne, the Australian drama tells the story of a wellness empire’s meteoric rise – and the scandal that brought it crashing down.
Starring Kaitlyn Dever, Apple Cider Vinegar is written and created by Australian Samantha Strauss, known for her work on The End, Nine Perfect Strangers, and Dance Academy.
Set at the birth of Instagram, the show follows two young women who set out to cure their life-threatening illnesses through health and wellness, influencing their global online communities along the way. All of which would be incredibly inspiring if it were all true.
Apple Cider Vinegar is the latest Australian series to feature in the Netflix Top 10, with Territory peaking at #2, Heartbreak High S2 peaking at #5, and Boy Swallows Universe peaking at #3 on the global Top 10 English TV list.
Other Australian productions recently featured in the Top 10 include hits Surviving Summer Seasons 1 & 2, Love is in the Air, Fisk, Run Rabbit Run, Wellmania, True Spirit, and The Stranger.
