Led by Hugo Weaving (Slow Horses, Love Me) and Shabana Azeez, breakout star of the Emmy® and Golden Globe Award®-winning drama series The Pitt, eight-part series The Airport Chaplain takes audiences inside the high-stakes world of a bustling international airport, told through the struggles, triumphs and unexpected connections of the workers who keep it running.
At the centre of The Airport Chaplain is Tobias Wallace (Hugo Weaving), a fast-moving fixer with a constantly ringing phone, pockets full of cash and an unorthodox approach to the daily crises of an airport. Convinced the airport couldn’t run without him, Tobias has never encountered a problem he couldn’t solve. Until he meets his formidable new boss Mira (Shabana Azeez), who sees Tobias as less saviour to the masses and more a walking liability.
Their clash sparks a power struggle that reverberates through the terminal, drawing in the airport’s cleaners, baggage handlers and passengers who are all navigating their own hopes, challenges and life-changing moments amid the constant flow of arrivals and departures.
The Airport Chaplain will premiere on Wednesday 26 August on SBS and SBS On Demand.
Double episodes will air on SBS at 8:30pm Wednesdays, with all eight episodes available to stream on SBS On Demand from 26 August.
