Jacki Weaver Replaces Judy Davis in ITV & Stan Drama ‘Two Birds’
Developing
In Short: Two-time Oscar nominee Jacki Weaver will star in the upcoming thriller 'Two Birds' for ITV and Stan, replacing Judy Davis who dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.
The announcement was made during Stan's upfronts, alongside other new shows including those with Rachel Griffiths, Angourie Rice, and Anna Friel, as well as a revival for McLeod’s Daughters.
Two-time Oscar nominee Jacki Weaver will take on the role of Mrs Baxter, previously played by Judy Davis, who had to drop out due to scheduling issues.
Weaver, known for her roles in series like Yellowstone and films such as 'Picnic at Hanging Rock' and 'Secret City', will bring her formidable presence to the role.
The casting news was confirmed exclusively by Deadline, adding to the lineup of high-profile talent set to star in the upcoming drama.
What's still developing
- Davis has dropped out due to scheduling conflicts, we understand.
- Her place playing the formidable Mrs Baxter is taken by Weaver, who has starred in the likes of Yellowstone, Picnic at Hanging Rock and Secret City down the years.
- Hannah Einbinder has taken aim at Ed Sheeran amid the growing backlash over Macklemore’s removal from the singer’s U.S.
- Her post came after Macklemore was dropped from Sheeran’s Loop Tour after onstage comments supporting Palestinians.
- Sheeran said concertgoers attend his shows expecting "a place of safety and sanctuary" rather than a political forum.
- If we only focus on shouting the loudest, nothing will ever change.
